The "uot_hdlines" collection contains temperature and salinity profiles from the WOCE "Upper Ocean Thermal Programme" for the high density lines. For this collection, the data have been sub-sampled to approximately 1 m vertical resolution. Data that have passed data center quality control procedures can be identified by the characters "dc" as first part of the cruise label, whereas data that have passed more stringent quality control procedures at science centers are denoted by "sc" in the cruise-label. Use the ODV Selection Criteria, if you want to sub-set the "uot_hdlines" collection. For more information see the "woce-uot" directory of the WOCE Global Data, Version 3.0 disks.
