Temperature profile data from surface sensors and CTD casts from the NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and other platforms as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 22 October 1981 to 13 October 1982 (NODC Accession 8400037)

Temperature profile data were collected from surface sensors and CTD casts from the NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and other platforms from 22 October 1981 to 13 October 1982. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F022 High-Resolution CTD/STD Output Format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f022.html. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.

The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments.

1981年10月22日至1982年10月13日期间，研究人员借助美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration，NOAA）“发现者号”（DISCOVERER）科考船及其他平台的水面传感器与CTD（conductivity-temperature-depth，电导率-温度-深度）剖面测量装置，采集了温度剖面数据。该数据由太平洋海洋环境实验室（Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory，PMEL）作为外大陆架环境评估计划（Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program，OCSEAP）的组成部分开展采集工作。数据由国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center，NODC）处理为NODC标准F022高分辨率CTD/STD输出格式。完整格式说明可通过NODC官网https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f022.html查阅。本次数据集的模拟文件可通过NODC用户服务获取。

F022格式包含通过CTD（电导率-温度-深度）与STD（salinity-temperature-depth，盐度-温度-深度）仪器采集的高分辨率数据。这类电子设备在海洋中布放并回收的过程中，可近乎连续地获取温度、盐度及其他参数的剖面数据。数据值可经过平均、滤波处理或通过插值得到，且可按照精度可达1米的深度间隔进行记录。每个测站均会记录航次与仪器信息、站位坐标、日期、时间及采样间隔。剖面测量时的环境数据（气象与海面状况）同样可被纳入记录。数据记录包含指定深度或压力层级下的温度、盐度或电导率、密度（计算得到的sigma-t，即比密）数值，还可能包含溶解氧或透射率相关数据。数据可按照等间距或不等间距的深度或压力间隔进行记录。此外还可附带文本记录用于添加注释。
