Hydrostatic pressure, water temperature, and instrument depth data were collected by the USS Forest Sherman in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. The dataset spans a 16-month period from April 1981 to August 1982. It was submitted and archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.
Use Cases
- Analyze hydrostatic pressure variations relative to instrument depth to calibrate sensor readings.
- Model the relationship between water temperature and depth profiles in the Northeast Pacific.
- Correlate temporal changes in collected parameters across the 16-month deployment of the USS Forest Sherman.
- Validate historical oceanographic models using point measurements of pressure and temperature.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 16-month time range from 1981-04-01 to 1982-08 01.
- Measurements include multiple physical oceanographic parameters (hydrostatic pressure, water temperature, depth).
- Data originates from a named U.S. naval vessel, providing a specific collection context.
Limitations
- Exact row count, column details, and sample size are unknown.
- Data is over 40 years old and may not reflect current ocean conditions.
- Geographic coverage is limited to the track of the USS Forest Sherman in the NE Pacific.
