Cloud amount/frequency, TRANSMISSIVITY and other data from CAPE HENLOPEN in the NW Atlantic from 1992-04-29 to 1992-05-06 (NCEI Accession 9200251)
Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 52 stations as part of Physical Oceanography Field Program Offshore North Carolina. Data was collected during cruise CH-9222 of Ship CAPE HENLOPEN. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 29, 1992 to May 6, 1992. Data containing 2,951 records was submitted in a tape by Dr. Thomas Berger, Science Applications, Inc. Raleigh NC. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.
F022 High-resolution CTD data is collected from high resolution (conductivity-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 1 m. 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.

Supplemental Information | The publication listed below is related to the data collection and is available from the NOAA Central Library: 1992 Physical Oceanographic Field Program Offshore North Carolina, NODC Hydrographic Data Submission. [Raleigh, N.C. : The Corporation?], 1992. Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
