October 2011 discrete profile measurements of CTD temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, dissolved inorganic carbon, and total alkalinity collected during the R/V Knorr cruise in Davis Strait. The data is provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and was last updated in March 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean acidification based on dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity measurements
- Analyzing nutrient cycling in polar waters based on nitrate, silicate, and phosphate data
- Studying water column structure based on CTD temperature and salinity profiles
- Investigating biological productivity based on oxygen and nutrient concentrations
Strengths
- Data covers a specific cruise with a known time range (October 2-21, 2011) and location (Davis Strait)
- Includes multiple core oceanographic parameters (CTD, nutrients, carbon chemistry) for integrated analysis
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
