Temperature profile and nutrients data were collected using bottle casts from the POLAR DUKE in the Ross Sea and Southern Oceans. Data collection occurred from 05 February 1992 to 28 February 1992. The data were submitted by Oregon State University (OSU) with support from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study / Southern Ocean (JGOFS/Southern Ocean) project.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean temperature stratification based on profile data.
- Analyzing nutrient concentrations for biogeochemical studies.
- Investigating Southern Ocean water column properties during austral summer.
- Calibrating satellite-derived oceanographic measurements with in-situ data.
- Supporting Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) research objectives.
Strengths
- Data collection spans a specific 24-day period in February 1992.
- Data originates from a named research vessel, POLAR DUKE.
- Submission involves a known institution, Oregon State University, and a major research project, JGOFS/Southern Ocean.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 1992-02-28 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
