July 1987 to May 1988 data collection includes barometric pressure and other measurements from the R/V Alpha Helix and other platforms. The dataset was submitted by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. It captures a specific period of oceanographic observation.
Use Cases
- Analyze temporal trends in barometric pressure over the 10-month observation period.
- Correlate barometric pressure readings from the R/V Alpha Helix with other concurrent environmental measurements.
- Use vessel platform identifiers to track and merge data from specific research cruises.
- Study atmospheric pressure variability in the geographic regions covered by the vessel tracks.
Strengths
- Data covers a defined 10-month period from July 1987 to May 1988.
- Includes measurements from multiple named research platforms, including the R/V Alpha Helix.
Limitations
- Sample size and data density are unknown.
- Data is over 35 years old, limiting analysis of current conditions.
- Specific geographic coverage and other measured variables are not detailed.
