Ocean Temperature and Nutrient Profiles from the South Atlantic

Temperature profile and nutrient data were collected from the South Atlantic Ocean using bottle and CTD casts aboard the HESPERIDES. The dataset covers a specific 10-day period from February 11 to February 20, 1995. Data were submitted by Dr. Hernan Garcia from the Instituto De Ciencias Del Mar (CSIC) under the Spanish Antarctic Research Program.

Use Cases

• Analyzing vertical temperature structure in the South Atlantic Ocean.
• Studying nutrient concentration distributions with depth.
• Validating oceanographic models for the specified time and region.
• Investigating short-term oceanographic variability during February 1995.

Strengths

• Data originates from a recognized research institution (Instituto De Ciencias Del Mar, CSIC).
• Collection method is specified (bottle and CTD casts).
• Time range is precisely defined (1995-02-11 to 1995-02-20).

Limitations

• Column names, row count, and file size are unknown across all sources.
• Sources conflict on the last updated date (1995-02-20 vs. 2026-03-05).
• The dataset's license and exact file formats are not provided.
