South Atlantic Ocean Temperature and Nutrient Profiles from HESPERIDES

Temperature profile and nutrient data were collected via bottle and CTD casts from the R/V HESPERIDES in the South Atlantic Ocean. The dataset covers a one-week period from February 15 to February 21, 1996. It was collected and submitted by Dr. Hernan Garcia from the Instituto De Ciencias Del Mar (CSIC) with support from the Spanish Antarctic Research Program.

Use Cases

• Analyzing vertical temperature structure in the South Atlantic Ocean.
• Studying nutrient concentration distributions with depth.
• Investigating short-term oceanographic conditions during a specific cruise.
• Calibrating or validating oceanographic models for the region.

Strengths

• Data originates from a specific, documented research cruise (HESPERIDES).
• Provides a precise temporal snapshot from February 15-21, 1996.
• Collected using standard oceanographic methods (bottle and CTD casts).

Limitations

• Specific column names, row counts, and dataset size are unknown.
• Conflicting last updated dates exist between sources (1996-02-21 and 2026-03-05).
• License information is not provided.
