Temperature profile data collected using XBTs from the ENDEAVOR from the Atlantic Ocean during the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / combination of USSR POLYGON project and US MODE (IDOE/POLYMODE) project, 1978-05-08 to 1978-05-25 (NCEI Accession 8000135)

Temperature profile data were collected using bathythermograph (BT/XBT) casts from ENDEAVOR in the Atlantic Ocean from May 8, 1978 to May 25, 1978. Data were submitted by University of Rhode Island; Graduate School of Oceanography as part of the INTERNATIONAL DECADE OF OCEAN EXPLORATION / combination of USSR POLYGON project and US MODE (IDOE/POLYMODE) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format.

The UBT format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, the XBT data files contained temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m.

Records of shallow-water marine invertebrates from French Frigate Shoals, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands with a note on nonindigenous species from NOW-RAMP 2000 surveys at 39 sites and a March 2002 survey at a single site (NCEI Accession 0001083)

In September of 2000, the Northwest Hawaiian Islands Rapid Assessment and Monitoring Program (NOW-RAMP) Expedition surveyed French Frigate Shoals (FFS) and a number of the remaining Northwest Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). At FFS, marine surveys were conducted at 39 stations by three different Rapid Ecological Assessment teams from two separate research vessels, NOAA Ship Townsend Cromwell (11 -25 Sep 2000) and the Rapture (23- 27 Sep 2000). An additional study of the seawall at Tern Island was conducted in March 2002. A total of 618 marine invertebrate taxa were collected and identified, about 75% to specific level. Of the 622 taxa identified, 502 are considered new records for FFS and perhaps 10 to 20% of these may be new records for the Hawaiian Archipelago. Of these new records, as many as 50 species may be undescribed and so far known only from FFS. Most of material collected by NOW-RAMP from the NWHI remains to be examined, and therefore no conclusions can be drawn yet regarding the distribution of these species throughout the island chain. Two species considered to be nonindigenous, the hydroid Pennariadisticha, and the barnacle Ba/anus reticulatus, were found at FFS. A number of specimens of some taxonomic groups collected from FFS remain to be examined thoroughly by specialists, most notably the polychaetes, which will certainly increase the final species tally. Further study will also be required of the 150 taxa which could not be identified to species level at the time of this report.

Dissolved inorganic carbon, pH and other variables measured from laboratory experiment studies from an experimental carbonate exposure system from 2013-12-09 to 2014-01-31 (NCEI Accession 0123317)

This dataset contains the carbon chemistry measurements of a laboratory experiment study to understand the effects of ocean acidification on winter flounders. To address the goals of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OA), the James J. Howard Laboratory constructed an OA experimental system to conduct OA experiments on commercially important species native to Atlantic waters of the NE U.S. The species of interest exhibit a broad range of ecological and life-history types from entirely marine to entirely estuarine. In order to conduct OA experiments on several different species, the required experimental system was able to mimic both estuarine and oceanic conditions. This system was designed to produce 5 pCO2 concentrations above an ambient pCO2 treatment and 5 temperature regimes. The system is also capable of manipulating dissolved oxygen, salinity, and other biogeochemicals common to a benthic habitat.  The analytical laboratory conducts analysis according to the guidelines developed by the ocean acidification subcommittee of the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Program. When followed correctly, these guidelines should produce data with a high degree of accuracy and precision.

Oceanographic field observations off North Carolina, summer survey: ocean outfall waste water disposal feasibility and planning study from 1976-05-22 to 1978-05-23 (NCEI Accession 8000016)

Nutrients, temperature profile, waste disposal, and ocean circulation data were collected using CTD from the JOHN DEWOLF in the coastal waters of North Carolina from 22 May 1976 to 23 May 1978. Data were collected and submitted by Dr. Robert H Weisburg of North Carolina State University. The nutrients includes nitrite, phosphate, oxygen, and silicate.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) format.

The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-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 1m. 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. A text record is available for comments.

Bathythermograph (MBT) data from FURMAN in the North Pacific Ocean from 1966-08-14 to 1966-09-10 (NCEI Accession 6600202)

This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from FURMAN in the North Pacific Ocean from 1966-08-14 to 1966-09-10.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (MBT) (C128) format.

The C128 format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using the mechanical bathythermograph (MBT) instrument. The maximum depth of MBT observations is approximately 285 m. Therefore, MBT data are useful only in studying the thermal structure of the upper layers of the ocean. Cruise information, date, position, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Temperature data in this file are recorded at uniform 5 m depth intervals.

Submarine groundwater discharge at Kahana Bay, Oahu, 1997-2001: in situ CTD and water chemistry tracer data (NCEI Accession 0011399)

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is neither well understood nor commonly investigated in Hawaii, but it is recognized as a potential pollution source to coastal environments. Between 1997 and 2001, this study located and quantified both total SGD and the terrestrial SGD fraction in Kahana Bay, Oahu. CTD casts were used to profile the water structure and identify potential areas of SGD impact in the bay. Lee-type seepage meters were used to measure SGD rates and collect samples of SGD directly. Radon-222, Si, Cl., and total alkalinity (Ta) were used as natural tracers to measure the terrestrial groundwater fraction within SGD. Nutrient concentrations were also measured to calculate total nutrient fluxes into the bay via SGD.
