Florida Keys Ocean Temperature and Pressure Profiles, 2001-2003

Pressure and temperature profile data were collected from the Northwest Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay using bottom-mounted pressure recorders. The dataset spans from September 2001 to April 2003 and was submitted by the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. It is archived by NOAA NCEI and appears on multiple government data platforms.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temperature profiles over time to study seasonal changes in the Florida Bay.
• Correlating pressure data with tidal cycles or water level fluctuations.
• Supporting models of net circulation through the Florida Keys by providing in-situ measurements.

Strengths

• Data collection covers a multi-year time range from September 2001 to April 2003.
• Measurements are from a specific, instrumented method using bottom-mounted pressure recorders.
• Cross-platform presence on NASA EarthData and Data.gov signals institutional importance and archiving.

Limitations

• Critical metadata such as column names, row count, and file formats are unknown across all sources.
• Sources conflict on the last updated date, reporting both 2003-04-23 and 2026-04-01.
• License and author information are not provided.
