Resource Abstract:
Oceanographic station data were collected from the TANEY within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station H (3800N 07100W)
and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) from 14 January 1974 to 25 January 1974. Data
were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Station Data II Output Format (SD2). Full format description is available from
NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/sd2.html.The SD2 format contains 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 percent) 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 (e.g., ship, country, institution), position, date, and time, and
reported for each station. The principal measured parameters and temperature and salinity , but dissolved oxygen, phosphate,
total phosphorus, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, and pH may be reported. Meteorological conditions at the time of the cast (e.g.,
air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) may also be reported, as well as auxiliary data such as water color (Forel-Ule
scale), water transparency (Secchi disk depth), and depth to bottom. Values of density (sigma-t) sound velocity, and dynamic
depth anomaly are computed from measured parameters. Each station contains the measurements taken at the observed depth levels,
but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels.
