One of 17 Cefas data sources assembled for a data paper. The mid and late 20th century saw extensive oceanographic research by DFS and Cefas. The resulting data were stored in an Oceanographic Archive which managed data from sensor systems including a CTD system for water column profiling.
Use Cases
- Analyze historical seawater temperature trends based on mid-to-late 20th century data mentioned in the description
- Model oceanographic water column profiles based on CTD system data mentioned in the description
- Study the UK Continental Shelf environment based on the geographic scope specified in the description
Strengths
- Part of a larger assembly of 17 Cefas data sources for a data paper
