Temperature, salinity and other variables collected from underway - surface observations using PAR Sensor and other instruments from the AURORA AUSTRALIS, NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and others in the Bering Sea, Caribbean Sea and others from 1994-01-28 to 2004-07-02 (NCEI Accession 0109923)

This dataset includes biological, chemical, meteorological, physical and underway - surface data collected from AURORA AUSTRALIS, NOAA Ship DISCOVERER, NATHANIEL B. PALMER, POLARSTERN, NOAA Ship RONALD H. BROWN and WECOMA in the Bering Sea, Caribbean Sea, Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, Gulf of Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, Indian Ocean, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 1994-01-28 to 2004-07-02 and retrieved during cruise BACPAC, BLAST I, BLAST II, BLAST III, CLIVAR01, GasEx 98 and PHASE1. These data include AIR TEMPERATURE, Benzene (C6H6), Bromoform (CHBr3), Bromomethane, also called methyl bromide (CH3Br), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-11 (CFC-11), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-113 (CFC-113), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-12 (CFC-12), Carbon tetrachloride (CCL4), Chlorodifluoromethane or difluoromonochloromethane (HCFC-22), Chloroform (CHCl3), Chloromethane, also called methyl chloride (CH3CL), Dibromochloromethane (CHBr2Cl), Dibromomethane, also called methylene bromide, or methylene dibromide (CH2BR2), FLUORESCENCE, INCOMING SOLAR RADIATION, Methyl iodide, also called iodomethane (CH3I), PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR), PRECIPITATION, RELATIVE HUMIDITY, SALINITY, SEDIMENT PROPERTIES, Tetrachloroethylene, or tetrachloroethene, or perchloroethylene (PCE), WATER TEMPERATURE, WIND DIRECTION, WIND SPEED and methyl chloroform (MC). The instruments used to collect these data include PAR Sensor. These data were collected by James H. Butler of NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) and James W. Elkins of NOAA/CMDL as part of the NOAA/CMDL values of trace halocarbon. dataset.

The International CLIVAR Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program carries out a systematic and global re-occupation of select WOCE/JGOFS hydrographic sections to quantify changes in storage and transport of heat, fresh water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and related parameters.
