From October 4 to October 9, 2013, discrete profile measurements were collected in the Aegean Sea during the R/V Aegaeo PERSEUS_2013 cruise. The dataset includes dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrients. It was published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean acidification based on dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity measurements
- Analyzing nutrient cycling in coastal waters based on silicate, nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate data
- Studying water column stratification based on temperature and salinity profiles
- Assessing marine ecosystem health based on dissolved oxygen levels
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 6-day cruise period from 2013-10-04 to 2013-10-09
- Includes multiple key oceanographic parameters: DIC, alkalinity, temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrients
- Geographic focus is clearly defined as the Aegean Sea
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 was 2026-03-05
