Oceanographic profile temperature, salinity, and other measurements collected using bottle from the ST. LAURENT in the Arctic in 1994 (NCEI Accession 0000821)

This dataset includes oceanographic station data from CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent in the Arctic Ocean from 1994-07-26 to 1994-09-01.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Oceanographic Station (SD2) format.

The SD2 file format is used for physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Most of the observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. A small amount (about 5%), were obtained using electronic CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) or STD (salinity-temperature-depth) recorders. The CTD/STD data were reported to NODC at depth levels equivalent to Nansen cast data, however, and have been processed and stored the same as the Nansen data. Cruise information, position, date and time are reported for each station. Each station contains the measurements taken at observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels.
