        abstract:  Oceanographic station data were collected from the ALKOR and Other Platforms within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Stations A (6200N 03300W), OWS-K (4500N 01600W), and OWS-M (6600 N 00200E) and in transit. Data were collected by Danish Institute for Fishery and Marine Research and other institutions from 03 January 1963 to 11 December 1972. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Station Data II Output Format (SD2). The SD2 format contains 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 percent) 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 (e.g., ship, country, institution), position, date, and time, and reported for each station. The principal measured parameters are temperature and salinity, but dissolved oxygen, phosphate, total phosphorus, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, and pH may be reported. Meteorological conditions at the time of the cast (e.g., air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) may also be reported, as well as auxiliary data such as water color (Forel-Ule scale), water transparency (Secchi disk depth), and depth to bottom. Values of density (sigma-t) sound velocity, and dynamic depth anomaly are computed from measured parameters. Each station contains the measurements taken at the observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels.
        purpose:  This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

            type:  Secchi disk
            description:  The Secchi disk (or Secchi disc), as created in 1865 by Angelo Secchi, is a plain white, circular disk 30 cm (12 in) in diameter used to measure water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water. The disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity. [Wikipedia, 2021-09-02]

            description:  Updated information from ICES for this platform. CODE 26DA has been designated an ambiguous (multiple hull) identifier and should not be used as an attribute for any data. The use of code 26DA has been deprecated to disambiguate the multiple platforms attributed, correctly and incorrectly, to 26DA. Do not use code 26DA to attribute data to a Danish platform 'DANA'. Use instead the appropriate code for Danish platforms DANA: 26D4 (RV) Dana OXBH 1981- 26D3 (M/S) Dana OYTJ 1937-1980 26D2 (SS) Dana [no callsign] 1920-1935
