Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory submitted temperature profile, conductivity, and pressure data collected via CTD casts in the Pacific Ocean. The data collection period spanned from June 1985 to August 2001 as part of the Vents Program. The dataset is archived under NOAA NCEI Accession 0000656.
Use Cases
- Model ocean thermal structure based on temperature profile data
- Analyze conductivity and salinity relationships based on conductivity data
- Study pressure-depth profiles for oceanographic research
- Investigate temporal changes in Pacific Ocean conditions over a 16-year period
Strengths
- Data covers a 16-year time range from 1985 to 2001
- Includes multiple physical oceanographic variables like temperature, conductivity, and pressure
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last updated 2001-08-31 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
