Oceanographic temperature, salinity, and oxygen profiles from CTDs aboard the R/V ENDEAVOR during the cruise PNE2014 in the North Atlantic and Equatorial Atlantic from 2015-1-3 to 2015-2-6 (NODC Accession 0126985)

The 2014 PIRATA Northeast Extension Cruise EN-550 was designed to collect observations in the northeast Tropical Atlantic, to service the northeast extension of the PIRATA array, to collect CTD casts at each of the mooring sites, and to recover six subsurface hydrophone moorings in an NSF funded study (the cruise was co-chartered by NSF). The cruise track passes through the climatologically significant Tropical North Atlantic region, including the southeast corner of the subtropical North Atlantic (a region of subduction for the subtropical cell circulation); the Guinea Dome and oxygen minimum shadow zone where the subtropical and tropical gyres meet, and the Tropical Atlantic current system and equatorial waveguide. All major scientific goals of EN-550 were achieved.
