Sound velocity and temperature data were collected from the O'BANNON vessel between May 23, 2000 and August 28, 2000. The data were submitted by the US Navy Ships of Opportunity using XBT and XSV casts. The measurements were taken in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.
Use Cases
- Modeling underwater sound propagation based on measured sound velocity data
- Analyzing seasonal temperature variations in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean
- Calibrating acoustic sensors using empirical sound velocity profiles
- Studying oceanographic conditions from naval vessel observations
Strengths
- Data covers a specific time range from May 23, 2000 to August 28, 2000
- Data originates from a known vessel (O'BANNON) and a specific organization (US Navy)
- Focuses on two key oceanographic parameters: sound velocity and temperature
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Last updated 2000-08-28 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
