Profile discrete measurements of CTD temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, dissolved inorganic carbon, and total alkalinity collected during the R/V Knorr cruise (EXPOCODE 316N20100804) in Davis Strait from August 4 to September 29, 2010. The dataset is provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and was last updated in March 2026.
Use Cases
- Model ocean acidification trends based on dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity measurements
- Analyze marine nutrient cycles based on nitrate, phosphate, and silicate data
- Study water column stratification based on CTD temperature and salinity profiles
- Assess marine oxygen dynamics based on CTD oxygen measurements
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 2-month cruise in Davis Strait from August to September 2010
- Includes multiple chemical and physical oceanographic parameters: CTD data, nutrients, carbon, and alkalinity
- Provided by the authoritative National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single cruise
