This report presents plots of property profiles for each of the 156 oceanographic stations occupied by the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker NORTHWIND in the Fram Strait area of the Greenland Sea during September 1985. A Neil Brown Mark III CTD was used to obtain temperature and salinity profiles to the sea floor in shallow water and to at least 600m in deeper water. In addition to temperature and salinity profiles, plots of sound speed and density (sigma-t) are shown. Keywords: Oceanographic data; East Greenland Current; Marginal ice zone; Fram Strait; Yermek Plateau.
