Water Pressure and Ocean Data from the Seward Johnson in the NW Atlantic, April-May 1995

From April 26 to May 2, 1995, the research vessel Seward Johnson collected water pressure and related oceanographic data in the Northwest Atlantic, west of 40°W. The dataset is archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) under accession number 9700117. The specific parameters and measurement methods require verification after download.

Use Cases

• Analyzing water column pressure profiles for physical oceanography studies (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Correlating pressure data with other oceanographic variables from the same cruise (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Validating or supplementing regional ocean models for the Northwest Atlantic (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Published on the authoritative NASA Earthdata platform.
• Sourced from NOAA NCEI, a trusted national environmental data archive.
• Has a precise temporal coverage of one week in 1995.

Limitations

• Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
• Last updated 1995-05-02 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
