Cloud amount/frequency, NITRATE and other data from MELVILLE and KNORR from 1987-11-24 to 1989-04-12 (NCEI Accession 9200007)
The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected as part of Distribution/Abundance of Marine Mammals in Gulf of Mexico (GULFCETI) project. Data was collected from Ships KNORR and MELVILLE. The data was collected over a period spanning from November 24, 1987 and April 12, 1989. Data for South Atlantic Ventilation Experiment (SAVE) legs 1-5 and HYDROS leg 4 was submitted in five tapes by Kristen M. Sanborn of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA.
This data set contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-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 1 m. 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. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

Supplemental Information | The publication listed below is related to the data collection and is available from the NOAA Central Library: South Atlantic Ventilation Experiment : SIO chlorofluorocarbon measurements. La Jolla, Calif. : Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, [1993]. South Atlantic Ventilation Experiment (SAVE) : chemical, physical, and CTD data report : Leg 4, 7 December 1988-15 January 1989; Leg 5, 23 January 1989-8 March 1989 : R/V Melville. San Diego : The Institution, [1992]. Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
