Water physics and chemistry data from bottle casts from MULTIPLE SHIPS and other platforms from the NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 1951-01-10 to 1957-04-18 (NCEI Accession 7200385)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-08-23T00:00:00.000+00:00
Water physics and chemistry data were collected from bottle casts from MULTIPLE SHIPS and other platforms from NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 10 January 1951 to 18 April 1957 as part of the NAVOCEANO Harbor Defense Study, in association with Cornell University. Data were submitted by the University of Rhode Island; Graduate School of Oceanography (URI). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F004 Water Physics and Chemistry format. The F004 format is used for data from measurements and analyses of physical and chemical characteristics of the water column. Among chemical parameters that may be recorded are salinity, pH, and concentration of oxygen, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, chlorophyll, and suspended solids. Physical parameters that may be recorded include temperature, density (sigma-t), transmissivity, and current velocity (east-west and north-south components). Cruise and station information, including environmental conditions of the study site at the time of observations, is also included.
