Chemical, physical, and other data from CTD casts from the YAQUINA as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Coastal Upwelling Ecosystems Analysis (IDOE/CUEA) from 1972-06-20 to 1973-08-24 (NCEI Accession 7500532)

Data were collected by the University of Washington (UW) as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Coastal Upwelling Ecosystems Analysis (IDOE/CUEA) from 08 July 1977 to 29 July 1977. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F022 High-Resolution CTD/STD Output Format.

Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f022.html. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-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.
