Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data from LITTLE DIPPER in the Gulf of Alaska from 1992-01-28 to 1994-05-25 (NCEI Accession 9400110)

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Gulf of Alaska. Data was collected from R/V LITTLE DIPPER. The data was collected over a period spanning from January 28, 1992, to May 25, 1994. Oceanographic time series CTD data in 33 files was submitted in a diskette 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.
