Ocean station data were collected using seechi disk, meteorological sensors, and bottle casts in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean (limit-40 W) and Southwest Atlantic Ocean (limit-20 W) by the Directoria de Hidrografia e Navagacao, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. ALMIRANTE SALDANHA was used to collect data from 30 October 1980 to 21 August 1982. The data in GF-3 Format was submitted by Mr. Paulo Valgas Lobo and is available in C100 Ocean Station Data file format of NODC. The C100 format is used for 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%) 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, position, date and time are reported for each station. Each station contains the measurements taken at observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels.
