Group: Summary
"Pegasus" profile current meter casts data were collected in both the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans during a six-year study conducted by NOAA's Atlantic
Oceanographic and Marine Laboratories(AOML) and the University of Miami.
This data set consists of seven cruises from the STACS (Subtropical Atlantic
Current Study) and EPOCS (Eastern Pacific Ocean Circulation Study) data.
Parameters included in this dataset are u and v current components and
temperature vs. depth.
The following cruises are included in this dataset:
Cruise Ref# Institution Vessel Date # of Casts
EPOCS L00591 AOML Researcher 3/83 16
EPOCS L00592 AOML Researcher 5/83 18
STACS 20 L00593 RSMAS Calanus 7/85 7
STACS 23 L00594 AOML Researcher 1/86 30
STACS 24 L00595 AOML Researcher 3/86 25
STACS 25 L00596 AOML Researcher 7/86 24
STACS 26 L00597 AOML Researcher 10/86 14
All data were originally recorded in ASCII and are available at the
National Oceanographic Data Center on cartridge and 9-track magnetic tape.
