Water physics and chemistry data from bottle casts from the ASTOR and other platforms from 03 January 1958 to 17 November 1961 (NODC Accession 6800201)

Water physics and chemistry data were collected from bottle casts from the ASTOR and other platforms from 03 January 1958 to 17 November 1961. Data were submitted by the University of Washington (UW). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F004 Water Physics and Chemistry format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f004.html. 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.1958年1月3日至1961年11月17日期间，科研人员通过ASTOR及其他平台的采水器投放采样（bottle casts）收集海水物理与化学数据。该数据集由华盛顿大学（University of Washington, UW）提交，后由国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）按照NODC标准F004海水物理与化学数据格式完成标准化处理。完整的格式说明可从NODC官方网站获取，网址为https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f004.html。 F004格式用于存储水柱物理与化学特征的测量及分析数据。可记录的化学参数包括盐度、酸碱度（pH）、溶解氧、氨、硝酸盐、磷酸盐、叶绿素以及悬浮颗粒物浓度。可记录的物理参数包括温度、密度（sigma-t）、透射率以及海流流速（东西向与南北向分量）。数据集同时涵盖航次与站位信息，其中包含观测时刻研究区域的环境条件。
