The data set comprises the Applied Oceanography Section thermistor chain contribution to the UK/German/Norwegian oceanographic and acoustic survey in the Norwegian Sea. Data collected included thermistor chain, navigation, meteorology, sea surface temperature with radiometer, XBT, CTD and shipborne ADCP. Data were collected by the Applied Oceanography Section of the Sonar Performance Division at DRA, Portland. Thermistor chain, sea surface temperature (from radiometer), XBT, navigation and meteorology data are stored in the DRA archive system and have been processed to the DRA standard MIDAS user data file format. These data have been screened for format and data errors and corrected to produce a 'clean' data set. The CTD and ADCP data are also stored in the division archive but, as yet, have not been converted to MIDAS format or screened.
