The North Pacific Ocean was sampled by the HOKKO MARU from 2006-05-10 to 2006-05-17. These data include dissolved inorganic carbon, hydrostatic pressure, nitrate + nitrite content, phosphate, salinity, silicate, and water temperature. The data were collected by Tsuneo Ono of the National Research Institute of Fisheries Science as part of the PACIFICA project.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon sequestration based on dissolved inorganic carbon measurements
- Analyzing nutrient distributions based on nitrate, phosphate, and silicate concentrations
- Studying water column structure based on hydrostatic pressure, salinity, and temperature profiles
Strengths
- Data collected during a specific cruise (HK0605) from 2006-05-10 to 2006-05-17
- Includes key oceanographic parameters for carbon and nutrient studies
- Part of the international PACIFICA project for Pacific Ocean data synthesis
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
