From 09 November 1994 to 08 December 1994, temperature profile and nutrient data were collected via bottle casts from the NATHANIEL B. PALMER vessel in the Ross Sea and Southern Oceans. The data were submitted by Oregon State University (OSU) as part of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study / Southern Ocean (JGOFS/Southern Ocean) project.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean heat content based on temperature profile data
- Analyzing nutrient distribution for biogeochemical studies
- Studying seasonal changes in Antarctic waters based on the November-December time range
Strengths
- Data collected over a specific 30-day period from 09 November to 08 December 1994
- Submitted by a known institution (Oregon State University) under a major research project (JGOFS/Southern Ocean)
- Focuses on two key oceanographic variables: temperature profiles and nutrients
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
