Temperature profile data from STD/CTDs casts from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and other platforms from the Atlantic Ocean during the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation (CALCOFI) project, 1938-02-15 to 1985-03-27 (NCEI Accession 8800121)

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.
