Temperature profile and nutrients data were collected using bottle casts from the POLAR DUKE and NATHANIEL B. PALMER vessels. Oregon State University submitted the data with support from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study / Southern Ocean project. The collection period was from 08 April 1997 to 05 May 1997.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean temperature gradients based on profile data
- Analyzing nutrient concentrations in the Ross Sea
- Studying Southern Ocean biogeochemical fluxes as part of JGOFS
- Correlating physical and chemical oceanographic properties
Strengths
- Data collected from two specific research vessels, POLAR DUKE and NATHANIEL B. PALMER
- Temporal coverage is precisely defined from 08 April 1997 to 05 May 1997
- Data submitted by Oregon State University under the JGOFS/Southern Ocean project
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last updated 1997-05-05 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
