Turbidity, SOLAR RADIATION - ATMOSPHERIC and other data from JOHN V. VICKERS from 1992-11-18 to 1993-02-22 (NODC Accession 9500060)

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data set was collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere and Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment. Data from 129 stations was collected from three legs of Ship JOHN V. VICKERS. The data was collected over a period spanning from November 18, 1992 to February 22, 1993. 1,181,256 records of CTD data was submitted by Dr. Robert Pinkel of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA. The CTD data were collected during the Vicker's time on station during TOGA COARE using the Vickers' SEABIRD CTD system for Leg #1 and the first few casts of Leg #2. After that, UCSB's CTD was used. The data were later processed and converted into text files which have been compressed using standard UNIX compression. Each file contains pressure, temperature, conductivity, density, and salinity (columns) aligned in 0.1 meter bins (rows). The casts were made (nominally) from the surface to 500m every 12 hours as the Vickers drifted in the IFA. The title of each file contains the date and time (UTC) of the cast. All casts were made within 20 km of 2 deg South, 156 deg 15 min East.本数据集包含温盐深（Conductivity, Temperature and Depth, CTD）观测数据及其他相关数据，采集自热带海洋全球大气耦合海洋大气响应实验（Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere and Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment, TOGA COARE）项目。数据由“约翰·V·维克斯号”船舶的3个航次中的129个站位获取，采集时段为1992年11月18日至1993年2月22日。加州拉霍亚斯克里普斯海洋研究所的罗伯特·平克尔博士提交了共计1,181,256条CTD观测记录。 本次TOGA COARE项目期间，“约翰·V·维克斯号”在站位作业时获取了CTD数据：第1航次及第2航次前若干次CTD剖面测量采用维克斯号搭载的海鸟（SEABIRD）CTD系统完成，后续则使用加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（University of California, Santa Barbara, UCSB）的CTD系统。后续对数据进行了处理并转换为文本文件，采用标准UNIX压缩格式进行打包。每个文本文件包含压力、温度、电导率、密度及盐度共5列数据，按0.1米间隔的分层（行）排列。“约翰·V·维克斯号”在IFA区域漂移期间，通常每12小时完成一次从海面至500米水深的CTD剖面测量。每个文件的文件名包含该次剖面测量的协调世界时（Coordinated Universal Time, UTC）日期与时间信息。所有剖面测量均位于南纬2度、东经156度15分周边20公里范围内。
