Water physics and chemistry data were collected from bottle casts from USS LITTLEHALES (AGSC-15) from 05 August 1959 to 13 August 1959. Data were submitted by the US Navy; Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO). Mr. R. L. Cory was chief scientist aboard USS Littlehales. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F004 Water Physics and Chemistry format. The F004 format is used for data from measurements and analyses of physical and chemical characteristics of the water column. Among chemical parameters that may be recorded are salinity, pH, and concentration of oxygen, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, chlorophyll, and suspended solids. Physical parameters that may be recorded include temperature, density (sigma-t), transmissivity, and current velocity (east-west and north-south components). Cruise and station information, including environmental conditions of the study site at the time of observations, is also included.
