Oceanographic Station and CTD data were collected from the EASTWARD from the SE Pacific (limit-140 W) from 23 July 1976 to 16 August 1976. Data were collected by Oregon State University (OSU) as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Coastal Upwelling Ecosystems Analysis (IDOE/CUEA). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Oceanographic Station Data and the F022 High-Resolution CTD/STD Output formats. Full format descriptions are available at nodc.noaa.gov/. Analog data are availabe for this accession by contacting NODC user services. The Oceanographic Station Data format contains physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Most of the observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. A small amount (about 5 percent) were obtained using electronic CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) or STD (salinity-temperature-depth) recorders. The CTD/STD data were reported to NODC at depth levels equivalent to Nansen cast data, however, and have been processed and stored the same as the Nansen data. Cruise information (e.g., ship, country, institution), position, date, and time, and reported for each station. The principal measured parameters are temperature and salinity , but dissolved oxygen, phosphate, total phosphorus, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, and pH may be reported. Meteorological conditions at the time of the cast (e.g., air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) may also be reported, as well as auxiliary data such as water color (Forel-Ule scale), water transparency (Secchi disk depth), and depth to bottom. Values of density (sigma-t), sound velocity, and dynamic depth anomaly are computed from measured parameters. Each station contains the measurements taken at the observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels. 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. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments.

Water quality at 10 recreational beaches in Mamala Bay and in the nearshore ocean were monitored over a period of 12 months in 1993-1994 to determine the impact of sewage discharges and non-point source pollution on conditions in the bay. Measurements included temperature, salinity, nutrients and other parameters. The data were collected under direction of Dr. Edward Laws of the University of Hawaii for the Mamala Bay Study, Ecosystem Response Study, MB-9. Samples were collected by wading into the water and filling a 20-liter carboy with water from just below the surface in water about one meter deep. Samples were collected at the ten beaches on a monthly basis from August 1993 to July 1994. The samples were collected from just below the surface in acid-cleaned 20-liter plastic carboys at a distance from the shoreline where the water column was one meter deep. The temperature of the water was recorded immediately using a thermometer calibrated to 0.1 oC and the conductivity measured with an Extech Oyster conductivity meter. Upon return to the laboratory, aliquots of the water were filtered through GF/F filters for further analysis. The filtrates were used to determine inorganic nutrient concentrations as previously described. Samples for PC and PN analysis were collected on precombusted GF/F filters and processed as described above. Samples for chl a and carotenoid pigment analysis were collected on GF/F filters and placed in liquid nitrogen prior to extraction. The pigments were extracted by placing the filters in approximately 5 ml of acetone for 12 h. The filters were then ground using a Wheaton tissue grinder and the filter residue removed by centrifugation as described in Strickland and Parsons (1972). The extracted pigment concentrations were then determined on a Varian 5000 high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) as described by Laws et al. (1990).

Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps are an integral component in oil-spill contingency planning and assessment. They serve as a source of information in the event of an oil spill incident.ESI maps contain three types of information: shoreline habitats (classified according to their sensitivity to oiling), sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. Most often, this information is plotted on 7.5 minute USGS quadrangles, although in the Alaska ESI maps, USGS topographic maps at scales of 1:63,360 and 1:250,000 are used, and in other ESI maps, NOAA charts have been used as the base map. Collections of these maps, grouped by state or a logical geographic area, are published as ESI atlases. Digital data have been published for most of the U.S. shoreline, including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

XBT data were collected from the NOAA Ship MT MITCHELL in support of the Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS) project. Data were collected by the National Ocean Service (NOS) from 24 October 1978 to 26 October 1978. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html. The UBT file format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles at depths of about 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Cruise information, position, date, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT data file, in which temperature values are recorded at uniform 5m intervals, the XBT Data File contains temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths are at a minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to record the temperature curve to an acceptable degree of accuracy. On output, however, the user may request temperature values either at inflection points or interpolated to uniform depth increments.

This metadata record describes the LiDAR data that was collected for 147 square miles within part of Flagler County, Florida during 28 February - 5 May 2004. In 2008, because the final lidar dataset satisfied the accuracy requirements in the FDEM Baseline Specifications, the lidar data was processed into .LAS files, and breaklines and contours were generated for the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) using the existing lidar data from 2004.

Temperature profile, sound velocity, and chemical data were collected using bottle casts from the NOAA Ship RESEARCHER in the North Atlantic Ocean from 27 November 1976 to 11 December 1976. Data were collected and submitted by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Oceanographic Station Data (SD2) format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/sd2.html. The SD2 format is used for physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels.

This project is a cooperative effort between the National Ocean Service, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment, the University of Hawaii, and Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii, LLC. The goal of the work was to develop coral reef mapping methods and compare benthic habitat maps generated by photointerpreting georeferenced color aerial photography, hyperspectral and IKONOS satellite imagery. The enhanced spectral resolution of hyperspectral and control of bandwidths of multispectral data yield an advantage over color aerial photography particularly when coral health and time series analysis of coral reef community structure are of interest. Depending on the type of instrument, a spectral imaging system can be utilized to see multiple colors from ultraviolet through the far infrared range. The AURORA hyperspectral imaging system collected 72 ten nm bands in the visible and near infrared spectral range with a 3 meter pixel resolution. The data was processed to select band widths, which optimized feature detection in shallow and deep water. Photointerpreters can accurately and reliably delineate boundaries of features in the imagery as they appear on the computer monitor using a software interface such as the Habitat Digitizer.
