Oregon Coast Temperature and Salinity Profiles for GLOBEC Surveys, May-June 2000

NOAA NCEI Accession 0001047 contains oceanographic profile data collected off the Oregon coast in May and June 2000. The data were gathered to provide observations between SeaSoar tows in support of the GLOBEC Northeast Pacific Mesoscale Surveys. The dataset was last updated on June 17, 2000.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal ocean temperature and salinity structure (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Analyzing temporal variability in physical oceanographic conditions (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Validating regional ocean circulation models (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Published on the authoritative nasa_earthdata platform.
• Data is associated with the specific GLOBEC Northeast Pacific research program.
• Provides a temporal snapshot from a defined period (May-June 2000).
