North and South Pacific Ocean CTD Profiles from 1999

Temperature profile and pressure data were collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ships RONALD H. BROWN and KA'IMIMOANA. The data cover the North and South Pacific Ocean from June to December 1999 and were submitted by Kristene McTaggart of the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory with support from the GOALS and PACS projects.

Use Cases

• Analyze vertical ocean temperature structure based on CTD profile data.
• Study ocean salinity distribution in the Pacific Ocean based on collected measurements.
• Model oceanographic conditions for climate studies based on the time-series data from the GOALS/PACS projects.
• Calibrate satellite-derived sea surface temperature data with in-situ CTD measurements.

Strengths

• Data collected from two dedicated NOAA research vessels, RONALD H. BROWN and KA'IMIMOANA.
• Covers a specific six-month time range from June to December 1999.
• Submitted by a named researcher from the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.

Limitations

• Last updated 1999-12-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
