Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data from JOHN V. VICKERS from 1992-11-18 to 1993-02-22 (NCEI Accession 9500060)
Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data was collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere and Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment. Data from 129 stations was collected from three legs of Ship JOHN V. VICKERS. The data was collected over a period spanning from November 18, 1992 to February 22, 1993. 1,181,256 records of CTD data was submitted by Dr. Robert Pinkel of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA.
The CTD data were collected during the Vickers' time on station during TOGA COARE using the Vickers' SEABIRD CTD system for Leg #1 and the first few casts of Leg #2. After that, UCSB's CTD was used. The data were later processed and converted into text files which have been compressed using standard UNIX compression. Each file contains pressure, temperature, conductivity, density, and salinity (columns) aligned in 0.1 meter bins (rows). The casts were made (nominally) from the surface to 500m every 12 hours as the Vickers drifted in the IFA. The title of each file contains the date and time (UTC) of the cast. All casts were made within 20 km of 2 deg South, 156 deg 15 min East.

Supplemental Information | 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.
