North Atlantic Ocean CTD Profiles from April to August 2006

NCEI Accession 0015719 contains pressure, salinity, and temperature data collected from CTD casts in the North Atlantic Ocean by the NAVIGATION RESPONSE TEAM 5. Data were gathered from 17 April 2006 to 10 August 2006 and submitted by the National Ocean Service (NOS). The data are stored in the old Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) CTD exchange format.

Use Cases

• Analyze vertical temperature profiles based on CTD cast data
• Study salinity distribution patterns in the North Atlantic Ocean
• Model oceanographic conditions for a specific time period based on the 2006 collection dates
• Validate or calibrate ocean models using in-situ CTD measurements

Strengths

• Data collection spans a defined period from 17 April 2006 to 10 August 2006
• Includes three core oceanographic variables: pressure, salinity, and temperature
• Submitted by a recognized institution, the National Ocean Service (NOS)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Last updated 2006-08-10 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
