Gulf of Mexico CTD and Cloud Data from R/V Gyre, July 1990

9000225 is a dataset containing Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD), cloud amount/frequency, and nitrate measurements collected in the Gulf of Mexico. Texas A&M University gathered the data aboard the R/V Gyre during a two-week cruise from July 11 to 23, 1990. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration processed and manages the data in the NODC F022-CTD-Hi Resolution format.

Use Cases

• Analyzing vertical profiles of seawater conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD).
• Studying nitrate concentration distributions in the Gulf of Mexico.
• Investigating cloud cover patterns over the ocean during the sampling period.
• Calibrating or validating regional oceanographic models for the 1990 timeframe.

Strengths

• Data collection is temporally focused, covering a specific two-week research cruise in July 1990.
• Measurements include multiple oceanographic parameters (CTD, nitrate, cloud data) from a single expedition.
• Data is processed and archived in a standard NODC format (F022-CTD-Hi Resolution).

Limitations

• Specific column names, row counts, and file sizes are not provided by any source.
• Sources conflict on the last updated date, with one listing 2026 and another 1990.
• The dataset's license and author details are unknown.
