BAROMETRIC PRESSURE and Other Data from ALPHA HELIX From Prince William Sound (Gulf of Alaska) from 1989-05-05 to 1989-05-11 (NCEI Accession 8900192)

The University of Alaska, Institute of Marine Science is responsible for this data collected aboard the R/V Alpha Helix on cruise number HX123 between May 5, 1989 to May 11, 1989 by Dr. R.T. Cooney of the Institute of Marine Science. There was a total of 51 stations in the Prince William sound area. The station numbers are: 2-52. These data were collected for the Exxon Oil Spill Monitoring Program. Funding was provided by the State of Alaska. This data was submitted to NODC earlier. This data set represents a resubmission due to fact that the earlier version had the wrong offsets applied. Field correction for the STD data was derived by comparing single bottle samples to recorded values from the STD sensors. The field correction is based on 15 samples from a total of 16 stations. The field corrections are: 3000 m CTD temperature mean (Nansen-STD) is 0.00536 and 3000 m CTD salinity mean (Nansen-STD) is -0.04131.
