This report presents plots of property profiles for each of the 122 oceanographic stations occupied by the U.S. Coast Guard Icebreaker over the continental shelf and slope waters off the east coast of Greenland in October & November 1981. A Neil Brown Mark III CTD was used to obtain temperature and salinity profiles to the sea floor in shallow water and at least to 600m in deeper water. In addition to temperature and salinity profiles, plots of sound speed and density (sigma-t) are shown.
