Southern Ocean temperature profile and nutrient data collected via bottle casts aboard the POLAR DUKE. Data were gathered from 02 January 1990 to 05 February 1990. The dataset was submitted by Oregon State University with support from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study Southern Ocean project.
Use Cases
- Analyze vertical temperature gradients in the Southern Ocean based on profile data
- Study nutrient concentrations and distributions based on bottle cast measurements
- Model oceanographic conditions for a specific time period based on the 1990 collection dates
- Correlate physical and chemical ocean properties based on concurrent temperature and nutrient data
Strengths
- Data collected over a defined 35-day period from 02 January 1990 to 05 February 1990
- Submitted by a known institution (Oregon State University) with a documented project affiliation (JGOFS/Southern Ocean)
- Focuses on a specific geographic region (Southern Oceans) and vessel (POLAR DUKE)
Limitations
- Last updated 1990-02-05 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
