Observations of temperature between 20 and 40 m depth were made with a towed thermistor chain in the North Pacific (50N, 145 W) during the Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE). The chain was usually towed at a speed of 3 m/s around a 20km square on alternate days for a three-week...
An international Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment
(COARE) was conducted in the warm-pool region of the western equatorial
Pacific Ocean over a four-month period from November 1992 through February
1993 (Webster and Lukas, 1992). Most of the oceanographic and meteorological
observations were concentrated in the Intensive Flux Array (IFA) centered at...
This report presents data collected on six cruises made during the months May-October 1972 along the Oregon coast. Both complete data listings and sequential surface data contour charts are presented. The latter graphically display rapid changes in surface water characteristics on time scales as short as a few hours.

The Southern Ocean plays an important role in the ocean’s uptake of heat and carbon yet the processes controlling this uptake are not well understood. To date, more than 100 biogeochemical profiling floats that measure water column pH, oxygen, nitrate, fluorescence, and backscattering at 10-day intervals have been deployed throughout...

This report presents hydrographic and chemical data from the eastern
tropical North Pacific Ocean collected in January 1977 aboard Oregon State
University's (OSU) R/V WECOMA during Leg I of Cruise WELOC 77. The purpose of
the cruise, WELOC-77-I, was to investigate the distributions of dissolved nitrous
oxide and molecular hydrogen'...
