Water temperature, salinity, and other data from LITTLE DIPPER in Gulf of Alaska from 1995-03-01 to 1998-02-06 (NCEI Accession 9800027)

The Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska is responsible for this data collected on R/V Little Dipper cruises LO37-LO56 from 03/01/95 to 02/06/98 by Dr. Tom Royer of the Institute of Marine Science. The data was collected for the "Oceanographic Time Series in North Pacific" project funded by NOAA, Grant No. NA90AA-D-AC805. There was a total of 2 stations in the Resurrection Bay and Gulf of Alaska area. Data has been processed to the NODC standard High-Resolution STD/CTD Data (F022) format. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments.
