Water temperature, salinity, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation rate, thermal dissipation rate, and other variables collected from the research vessel Thomas G. Thompson in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean at 140 deg W from 1984-11-16 to 1984-12-03 as part of the TROPIC HEAT Experiment (NCEI Accession 0286197)

Velocity and temperature microstructure, shear and stratification were observed at 35 stations between 3 degrees North and 2.5 degrees South at 140 degrees West from November 16 to December 3, 1984. The stations include a 4.5-day time series on the equator. The observations span the meridional extent of the Equatorial Undercurrent. The time series resolves a diurnal cycle in and below the varying surface mixed layer. After these many years, only station averages and hourly averages from the equatorial time series survive. Ancillary data, including surface forcing, and documentation are included in the data compilation. Data are in ASCII format.
