Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Physical profile data collected from CTD casts from NOAA Ship KA'IMIMOANA in the Equatorial Pacific during cruise KA-10-05 to service the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array from 2010-09-05 to 2010-09-25 (NCEI Accession 0120351)

As part of the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) Program, the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) was responsible for the at-sea collection, quality control and processing, and delivery of these CTD data in netCDF files to the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). NDBC collected these CTD data during a cruise to service the TAO array of moorings.
