Water Bottle Data (Salinity and Oxygen) Measured during the JGOFS Equatorial Pacific Process Study (EQPAC)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The Equatorial Pacific Process Study (EQPAC) was conducted along 140 deg W longitude during 1992.

Description

Four cruises took place: February 3 - March 9, March 19 - April 15, August 5 - September 18, and September 24 - October 21. A fifth benthic cruise (November 1 - December 7) and sediment trap legs were added.

During the first cruise (TT007), 15 stations were occupied along 140 deg W longitude from 12 deg N latitude to 12 deg S latitude. During the second cruise (TT008), data were collected at 8 stations along 140 deg W longitude from 9 deg S latitude to 9 deg N latitude. During the third cruise (TT011), data were collected at 15 stations along 140 deg W from 12 deg N latitude to 12 deg S latitude.

During the fourth cruise (TT012), data were collected at 5 stations along 140 deg W longitude from 17 deg S latitude to the equator. During the fifth benthic cruise (TT013), data were collected at 16 stations along 140 deg W from 12 deg S latitude to 9 deg N latitude. Rosette water bottle samplers provided oxygen concentrations and salinity.

The data files combine the water bottle data with some of the EQPAC CTD data. The CTD data in these files includes water temperture, salinity, density (sigma-t), potential temperature, and potential density. The data is public domain and can be retrieved on-line at "usjgofs.whoi.edu/jg/dir/jgofs/" [The information in this summary was taken from the JGOFS World Wide Web pages.]
