Temperature profile and other data were collected using bottle casts in the South Pacific Ocean by the vessel MONOWAI. Data were collected from 16 November 1992 to 03 December 1992 by Texas A & M University and the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute. The dataset is archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.
Use Cases
- Analyze ocean temperature variability based on bottle cast measurements mentioned in the description
- Model historical oceanographic conditions in the South Pacific Ocean based on the described data collection
- Validate satellite-derived sea surface temperature data based on in-situ bottle cast profiles
- Study seasonal oceanographic patterns based on the November-December 1992 time range
Strengths
- Data collection spans a specific 18-day period from November 16 to December 3, 1992.
- Data originates from a named research vessel (MONOWAI) and two academic institutions.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 1992-12-03 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
