A summary of 30 missions which sampled part or all of Line P between January 1991 and December 1999 is provided. Plots of mission tracks show the areas surveyed, participants are listed, and types of sampling, inventoried. A review of sampling equipment outlines the conversion from 1.7 litre Niskin bottles mounted on 5/32-inch wire hydro wire to CTD/Rosette cast sampling using 10 litre bottles. Missions which supported programs for World Ocean Circulation Experiment and Joint Global Ocean Flux Studies are listed. A previous report contained observations for the period January 1980 to December 1989 and is found in Canadian Data Report of Hydrography and Ocean Sciences No.136, by Tabata and Brown.
