Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data from ALPHA HELIX from Chukchi Sea and other northern seas from 1992-03-16 to 1992-10-27 (NCEI Accession 9300161)
The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Gulf of Alaska, Chukchi Sea, and NW Pacific (limit-180). Data was collected from cruises HX 161, HX 163, HX 165 and HX 167 of R/V ALPHA HELIX. The data was collected over a period spanning from March 16, 1992 to October 27, 1992. Data was submitted in one exabyte cassette by Dr. Thomas C. Royer, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK. CTD data is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.
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.
