Oceanographic CTD Data from Endeavor in the Florida Straits

NOAA_NCEI provides Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) data collected from the R/V Endeavor in the Straits of Florida. The dataset covers a specific cruise period from June 3 to June 16, 1990, and was submitted by Dr. Michael C. Gregg of the University of Washington. It is processed and available in the NODC F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format.

Use Cases

• Analyzing vertical profiles of conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) for water mass characterization.
• Studying oceanographic conditions and variability in the Florida Straits during June 1990.
• Calibrating or validating regional ocean circulation models with in-situ hydrographic data.
• Investigating the relationship between physical water properties and other collected parameters like nitrate.

Strengths

• Data originates from a recognized research institution (University of Washington) and is hosted by NOAA_NCEI.
• Provides a precise two-week temporal snapshot from June 3-16, 1990, for focused analysis.
• Availability in a standardized NODC exchange format (F022-CTD-Hi Resolution) aids in interoperability.

Limitations

• Specific column names, row counts, and dataset size are unknown across all sources.
• Sources conflict on the last updated date, with entries from 1990-06-16 and 2026-03-05.
• The license and detailed authorship information are not provided.
