Barometric Pressure and CTD Data from NOAA Ship Whiting in NW Atlantic

NOAA Ship Whiting collected Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) and barometric pressure data in the NW Atlantic. The dataset contains information from 14 casts submitted by the National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. Data collection occurred over a one-month period from October 12, 1994, to November 12, 1994.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns in barometric pressure over the one-month cruise period.
• Correlate conductivity and temperature measurements from the CTD casts with depth profiles.
• Use the 14 distinct cast locations to study spatial variability in oceanographic parameters within the NW Atlantic region.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined temporal range of one month from October to November 1994.
• Includes measurements from 14 separate oceanographic casts.

Limitations

• Dataset is small, containing data from only 14 casts.
• Data is over 30 years old, limiting analysis of current conditions.
• Specific column names, data resolution, and file formats are unknown.
