1.2  Description
1.2.1   Abstract: 
"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.
