Ocean station data collected using bottle from the ALMIRANTE CAMARA and other platforms in the NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) and Others from 1983-01-02 to 1983-11-11 (NODC Accession 9000033)

Ocean station data were collected using seechi disk, meteorological sensors and bottle casts in the Northwest and Southwest Atlantic Ocean from 02 January 1983 to 11 November 1983. The physical profile data were collected using multiple ships by Directoria de Hidrografia e Navagacao in Brazil; National Oceanographic Data Center in Silver Spring, MD and France. The data was submitted in GF-3 format by Capt. Hugo Bernardi Jr. of Directoria de Hidrografia e Navagacao, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The data has been processed by NODC and is available in the C100 Ocean Station Data file format.

The C100 format is used for physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Most of the observations were made using multi- bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. A small amount (about 5%) were obtained using electronic CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) or STD (salinity-temperature-depth) recorders. The CTD/STD data were reported to NODC at depth levels equivalent to Nansen cast data, however, and have been processed and stored the same as the Nansen data. Cruise information, position, date and time are reported for each station. Each station contains the measurements taken at observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels.

本数据集的海洋站数据于1983年1月2日至11月11日期间，在大西洋西北和西南海域通过赛氏盘（Secchi disk）、气象传感器及瓶式采水采样获取。物理剖面数据由巴西水文与航海管理局（Directoria de Hidrografia e Navagacao）、马里兰州银泉市的美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）以及法国方面依托多艘科考船采集。巴西里约热内卢的巴西水文与航海管理局的小雨果·贝尔纳迪上尉（Capt. Hugo Bernardi Jr.）以GF-3格式提交了本数据集。该数据已由美国国家海洋数据中心（NODC）处理，可通过C100海洋站数据文件格式获取。

C100格式用于存储离散深度层记录的物理化学海洋学数据。绝大多数观测数据通过多瓶南森采水器（Nansen casts）或其他类型的水体采样器获取，仅约5%的少量数据来自电子电导率-温度-深度仪（CTD, conductivity-temperature-depth）或盐度-温度-深度仪（STD, salinity-temperature-depth）记录器采集。不过，提交至美国国家海洋数据中心（NODC）的CTD/STD数据均匹配南森采水采样的深度层级，其处理与存储流程与南森采样数据完全一致。每个测站均附带科考航次信息、站位坐标、观测日期与时间。每个测站不仅包含实测深度层的观测数据，还包含经插值得到的标准深度层级数据集。
