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. 1.2.2 Purpose: 1.2.3 Supplemental Information: 1.2.3.1 Entry ID: FWA00326 1.2.3.2 Sensor Name: Current Meter 1.2.3.2 Sensor Name: Thermometer 1.2.3.3 Source Name: Ships1.2.3.4 Campaign or Project: Pegasus
