      Title: Temperature, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, and Chloropigment Profile Data from R/V Oscar Elton Sette Cruise OES 04-03 near American Samoa along Meridional Transects between 10S and 17S along 169W and 170.5W in March 2004 (NODC Accession 0014889)

  Description: 
    Abstract: The Ecosystems and Oceanography Division of the Pacific Islands Fisheries
      Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, National Oceanic
      and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), conducted a cruise, OES 04-03,
      in March 2004 near American Samoa on the R/V Oscar Elton Sette.  Meridional
      transects were made along 170.5W and 169W between 10S and 17S.  This
      finalized data set contains the profiles of temperature, salinity,
      dissolved oxygen, and chloropigments.  The former three go to 1000 dbars and
      the latter variable to 200 dbars.
    Purpose: Understand the physical characteristics for better interpretation
      of ecosystem dynamics
