During 1982 and 1983, CTD data were collected in the eastern equatorial Pacific as part of the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (EPOCS) program, which began its field program in 1979. Summaries of CTD data from six cruises in 1982 and 1983 are presented. This time period spans the 1982/83 El Niño-Southern Oscillation event, whose effects were seen in the eastern Pacific from August 1982 through June 1983. Station locations, meteorological conditions and profiles of temperature, salinity, sigma-T, and oxygen are shown for each cast. Additionally, T-S diagrams and section plots along 95°W and the equator are presented.
