Summaries of CTD/O measurements from the R/V CONRAD cruise in the equatorial Pacific during September and October 1982 are presented. This cruise occurred during the initial stages of the 1982/1983 El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event, approximately three months after the trade winds collapsed in the western Pacific and one month after the rise in sea level was seen in the eastern Pacific. In addition to profiles of temperature, salinity, sigma-t and dissolved oxygen, station locations and T-S diagrams are included for each cast. Section plots of the vertical distribution of temperature, salinity, sigma-t and dissolved oxygen are shown for the meridional transects along 130°W and 85°W, and the zonal transect along the equator.
