Summaries of Neil Brown Instrument System (NBIS) CTD/O measurements recorded on the TEW (Transports of Equatorial Waters) cruises during 1987, a description of the acquisition and processing systems, and a discussion of calibration techniques are presented. The major portion of these data was collected from 150°W to 150°E in the latitude range of 12°S–15°S. Additional casts collected across the Samoan Passage, in the Coral Sea Basin, across the Solomon Sea, and in the Pacific Basin along longitude 165°E between 5°S and 8°N are also presented. Station locations, meteorological conditions, and profiles of potential temperature, salinity, and oxygen are shown for each cast. In addition, potential temperature-salinity diagrams for each cast and section plots of oceanographic variables are given.
