Salinity and temperature data recorded near the seabed in the Denmark Strait between 1998 and 2015. The data were collected by Seabird-Electronics-37 SM MicroCAT instruments and calibrated and aggregated from publications by Opher (2021) and Opher et al. (accepted). This subset originates from the Angmagssalik Denmark Strait Overflow Array operational from 1986 to 2015.
Use Cases
- Analyze long-term changes in deep-water salinity based on calibrated time-series measurements.
- Study temperature variability near the seabed in a key overflow region.
- Validate oceanographic models using instrument-recorded physical property data.
- Investigate the Denmark Strait Overflow water properties over a 17-year period.
Strengths
- Data covers a 17-year time range from 1998 to 2015.
- Measurements are calibrated and aggregated from published scientific work.
- Data originates from a long-term monitoring array operational for 29 years.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
