Temperature profile and other data collected using CTD casts in the North/South Pacific Ocean from NOAA Ship MALCOLM BALDRIGE and other platform from 1990-02-23 to 1990-12-06 (NCEI Accession 9200013)

Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) with support from Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (EPOCS) and Climate and Global Change (CGS) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution STD/CTD Data (F022) format.

Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f022.html. 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.
