Baseline characterization of benthic and coral communities of the Flower Garden Banks, Texas from 2010-05-01 to 2012-08-31 (NCEI Accession 0124257)

This study utilized ROV photograph transects to quantify benthic habitat and coral communities among the five habitat types (algal nodule, coralline algal reefs, deep reefs and soft bottom) identified in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS). ROV surveys were conducted in the mid- and lower mesophotic zone of the Sanctuary (17-150 m) on both the East Bank and the West Bank.

The FGBNMS represents the northernmost tropical western Atlantic coral reef on the continental shelf and support the most highly developed offshore hard bank community in the region. The complexity of habitats supports a diverse assemblage of organisms including approximately 250 species of fish, 23 species of coral, and 80 species of algae in addition to large sponge communities. Understanding and monitoring these resources is critical to both Sanctuary inventory and management activities.

During the course of the Sanctuary's management plan review process, the impact of fishing was identified as a priority issue, and the concept of a research only area was suggested. The purpose of this project is to provide baseline data for all benthic habitats and coral communities.

Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA), pH on total scale, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC11, CFC12, CFC113), water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and other hydrographic and chemical variables collected from discrete samples and profile observations during the R/V Thomas G. Thompson cruise on GO-SHIP repeat section I08S (EXPOCODE 325020240221) in the Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean from 2024-02-21 to 2024-04-01 (NCEI Accession 0308102)

This dataset includes discrete profile measurements of Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA), pH on total scale, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC11, CFC12, CFC113), water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and other hydrographic and chemical variables collected from discrete samples and profile observations during the R/V Thomas G. Thompson cruise on GO-SHIP repeat section I08S (EXPOCODE 325020240221) in the Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean from 2024-02-21 to 2024-04-01. GO-SHIP repeat transoceanic surveys (www.goship.org) provide full water column hydrographic observations with temporal and spatial resolutions adequate to resolve decadal variability in oceanic storage of heat, freshwater, carbon, oxygen, nutrients and transient tracers. Repeat hydrographic physical-biogeochemical measurements nominally in Indian Ocean enables scientists to better tackle important unresolved aspects of the Indian and Southern Ocean's response to decadal scale variability and increases in both heat and carbon dioxide as a result of anthropogenic activities. The I08S 2024 cruise aboard the UNOLS vessel R/V Thomas G. Thompson was undertaken as part of the US GO-SHIP (Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program), a major contributor to international GO-SHIP. The programâs overall objective is to collect quasi-decadal, highly accurate, surface-to-bottom, coast-to-coast, physical, and chemical oceanic observations. These measurements are essential to monitoring long-term changes in heat, freshwater, carbon, oxygen, and other tracers in the global ocean, the main reservoir in the Earth System.

Oceanographic Station Data and temperature profiles from bottle and XBT casts from the COCHRANE and other platforms as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Controlled Ecosystem Pollution Experiment (IDOE/CEPEX) from 1973-10-28 to 1975-01-29 (NCEI Accession 7500529)

Oceanographic Station Data and temperature profiles were collected from bottle and XBT casts from the COCHRANE and other platforms from 28 October 1973 to 29 January 1975. Data were collected by the US Navy and other institutions as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Controlled Ecosystem Pollution Experiment (IDOE/CEPEX). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Oceanographic Station Data (SD2) and Universal bathythermograph Output (UBT) formats.

The Oceanographic Station Data 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 are 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.

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 records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. The XBT data files contain 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 450 m or 760 m. Special instruments permitted measurements to 1830 m.

Bathythermograph (MBT) data from COLUMBUS in the Mediterranean Sea from 1970-01-05 to 1970-01-14 (NCEI Accession 7000107)

This dataset includes bathythermograph (MBT) data from COLUMBUS in the Mediterranean Sea from 1970-01-05 to 1970-01-14.

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.

Depth, temperature, salinity, and sound velocity profiles taken from R/V ROGER REVELLE in the North Pacific from 2004-06-03 to 2004-06-17 (NCEI Accession 0001933)

This dataset is a collection of 15 CTD casts taken in the North Pacific in early June, 2004. The purpose of the cruise was the deployment of acoustic sources and hydrophone arrays as part of the North Pacific Acoustic Laboratory experiment. CTD casts were performed at each of the transceiver location as well as on the acoustic path between the transceiver moorings. The purpose of obtaining this CTD data was to derive sound speed profiles for the interpretation of acoustic tomographic data.

Bathythermograph (XBT) data from WILLIAMS in the North Atlantic Ocean and Norwegian Sea from 1984-02-19 to 1984-03-21 (NCEI Accession 8400067)

This dataset includes bathythermograph (XBT) data from WILLIAMS in the North Atlantic Ocean and Norwegian Sea from 1984-02-19 to 1984-03-21.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) format.

The C116/C118 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. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB.

Oceanographic data collected during the EX1505 (October 2015 Transit: Honolulu, HI to Alameda, CA) expedition on NOAA Ship OKEANOS EXPLORER in the North Pacific Ocean from 2015-10-05 to 2015-10-16 (NCEI Accession 0138039)

Throughout this cruise, multibeam data was collected 24 hours a day and XBT casts were conducted every 6 hours. Additionally, EK 60 (split beam) and sub-bottom profile data were collected 24 hours per day, with subbottom profile data collection at the discretion of the CO. Onboard multibeam data processing was minimal due to limited staffing. Daily or bi-daily multibeam products were produced according to established shipboard SOP and sent to shore through established shipboard SOP. Onshore mapping physical scientists monitored data quality, cruise progress, and discovery potential. Raw EK 60 and subbottom data was sent to the shoreside repository through established shipboard automated archival procedure.

Temperature profile data collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ship RESEARCHER in the TOGA Area of Atlantic Ocean from 1987-03-12 to 1987-09-25 (NCEI Accession 8900017)

Temperature profile and other data were collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ship RESEARCHER in the TOGA Area of Atlantic Ocean from 12 March 1987 to 25 September 1987. Data were collected by the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, Florida with support from the SubTropical Atlantic Climate Studies (STACS) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution STD/CTD Data (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.
