Ocean Pressure and Water Data from Gulf Challenger, 1997-1998

NCEI Accession 9800190 contains pressure and water data collected from the GULF CHALLENGER platform and other sources. The dataset covers a one-year period from October 21, 1997, to October 23, 1998. It is published by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) via the NASA Earthdata platform.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in ocean pressure (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Correlating water pressure data with other oceanographic variables (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Validating or calibrating oceanographic models for the 1997-1998 period (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Published on the authoritative NASA Earthdata platform.
• Sourced from NOAA NCEI, a leading environmental data institution.
• Has a defined temporal coverage from 1997-10-21 to 1998-10 23.

Limitations

• Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 1998-10-23 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
