The dataset comprises 20 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, from across the Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland area specifically a line of CTDs was carried out through each of the following lochs: Loch Carron, Loch Duich, Loch Hourn, Loch Nevis, Sound of Sleat and North Minch during January and February of 2005. A complete list of all data parameters are described by the SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) keywords assigned in this metadata record. The data were collected by the Fisheries Research Services Aberdeen Marine Laboratory.

The dataset comprises 40 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, from across the Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland area specifically North Minch and southern Skye during June 2005.

The data were collected by the Fisheries Research Services Aberdeen Marine Laboratory.

The databank comprises more than 50,000 profiles of conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) or salinity-temperature-depth (STD) profiles collected during 100s of research cruises by UK laboratories, since 1969. The majority of profiles were collected in the North East Atlantic but data are available from elsewhere including for example the Indian Ocean, the South Atlantic and the Southern Ocean. Many profiles have been measured in shelf seas (often around the UK) but some are deep ocean profiles which may contain data to a depth of 5000m. Data are normally supplied to the British Oceanographic Data Centre as time or depth averages resulting in vertical resolutions between 0.5 dbar and 10 dbar, with casts collected in shallow water typically having a higher vertical resolution.

The dataset comprises 56 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, from the English Channel, North Sea, Irish Sea and St. George's Channel, Bristol Channel, Thames region, English Channel, and the SW Approaches during the month of January 2004. A complete list of all data parameters are described by the SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) keywords assigned in this metadata record. The data were collected by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science Lowestoft Laboratory.

The dataset comprises 22 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, from the North Sea area with CTD profiles in a transect between West Gabbard and Warp during May 2004. A complete list of all data parameters are described by the SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) keywords assigned in this metadata record. The data were collected by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science Lowestoft Laboratory.

The dataset comprises 82 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, from the North Sea area. Firstly, CTD survey from Dogger Bank to the north eastern coast of England; Secondly, CTD repeat stations along the line of the first Scanfish section where the moorings had also been positioned, located towards the eastern extreme of British waters north on the northern slope of Dogger Bank. Measurements taken during October and November 2004. A complete list of all data parameters are described by the SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) keywords assigned in this metadata record. The data were collected by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Lowestoft Laboratory as part of the Cefas North Sea Dogger Bank project A1225.

The dataset comprises 29 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, from the North Sea area specifically the Northern flank of the Dogger Bank during September and October 2004. A complete list of all data parameters are described by the SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) keywords assigned in this metadata record. The data were collected by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Lowestoft Laboratory as part of the Cefas North Sea Dogger Bank project A1225.

The dataset comprises 14 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, from the English Channel and North Sea areas specifically between the Warp and West Gabbard sites during October 2004. A complete list of all data parameters are described by the SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) keywords assigned in this metadata record. The data were collected by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science Lowestoft Laboratory.

The dataset comprises 11 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, from the North Sea area specifically the Central North Sea and Dogger Bank region during August and September 2004. Measurements made by use of towed undulating CTDs. A complete list of all data parameters are described by the SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) keywords assigned in this metadata record. The data were collected by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Lowestoft Laboratory as part of the Cefas North Sea Dogger Bank project A1225.

This dataset contains hydrographic profiles (temperature, salinity, oxygen, fluorometer, transmissometer, irradiance) and along track measurements (bathymetry, surface meteorology, sea surface hydrography), with discrete measurements including water chemistry (organic and inorganic nutrients, particulate organic carbon and nitrogen, dissolved gases, trace metals) collected from a hydrographic section in the North Atlantic Ocean. This hydrographic section, designated A05 by the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), runs along a nominal latitude of 24.5N between Florida and either Spain, North Africa, Portugal or the Canary Islands. Four UK cruises (D279, D346, DY040 and JC191) have contributed to this dataset to date using CTD casts, vessel-mounted and lowered ADCPs, bottle sampling and meteorological measuring systems to collect data. The measurements were collected as one of the UK's contributions to the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) and with the aim of contributing to the study of decadal variability of the present ocean circulation and meridional transport of heat, freshwater and biogeochemistry, as part of the Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science (CLASS) project. The work was led by teams from the National Oceanography Centre at Southampton. Data from the section are held at the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC).
