SCIOPS collected hourly oceanographic data from the Svinøy S1 mooring positioned at 62° 49.33 N, 4° 17.41 E. The dataset contains raw records of current, temperature, salinity, and pressure from depths of 100m and 300m at a 500m site. The data was last updated on October 7, 2008.
Use Cases
- Model ocean circulation patterns based on current velocity data
- Analyze water column stratification based on temperature and salinity profiles
- Study pressure variations at specific depths for tidal or wave analysis
- Validate regional ocean models with in-situ mooring observations
Strengths
- Hourly temporal resolution provides detailed time-series data
- Specific geographic coordinates (62° 49.33 N, 4° 17.41 E) and depth (500m) are documented
- Data includes multiple physical oceanographic variables: current, temperature, salinity, and pressure
Limitations
- Last updated 2008-10-07 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
