Profile discrete measurements of CTD temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, dissolved inorganic carbon, and total alkalinity collected during a research cruise. The data was obtained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from the R/V Hudson in the Davis Strait between September 4 and September 22, 2005.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean acidification based on dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity measurements
- Analyzing nutrient cycling in polar waters based on nitrate, phosphate, and silicate data
- Studying water column structure based on CTD temperature and salinity profiles
- Investigating biological productivity based on CTD oxygen and nutrient concentrations
Strengths
- Data includes multiple key oceanographic parameters for carbon and nutrient studies
- Cruise provides a specific temporal snapshot from September 2005
- Geographic focus is the Davis Strait, a region of significant oceanographic interest
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Freshness should be verified; last metadata update is dated 2026-03-05
