During 1997 and 1998, CTD data were collected in the equatorial Pacific Ocean as part of the Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land System (GOALS)/Pan American Climate Studies (PACS), follow-up programs to the Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere (TOGA) and Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (EPOCS). Summaries of Sea-Bird CTD measurements and hydrographic data acquired on fifteen cruises are presented. Composite potential temperature-salinity diagrams and section plots of oceanographic variables along 95°W, 110°W, 125°W, 140°W, 155°W, 170°W, 180°, and 165°E meridians are given. Profiles including station location, meteorological conditions, and abbreviated CTD data listings are shown for each cast. Hydrographic data are listed for each cruise.
