Ocean Temperature and Pressure Profiles from Indonesian Seas

Temperature profile and pressure data were collected via bottle casts from the BARUNA JAYA I research vessel. The dataset covers measurements taken in the Banda Sea, Celebes Sea, Ceram Sea, and Java Sea. Data collection was managed by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observation for the Arlindo Mixing project.

Use Cases

• Analyzing vertical temperature structure in specific ocean basins.
• Studying pressure-depth relationships from bottle cast measurements.
• Investigating seasonal oceanographic conditions from August 1993 to February 1994.
• Supporting regional climate and ocean circulation model validation.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a defined 7-month period from August 1993 to February 1994.
• Geographic coverage is specific, including four named seas in the Indo-Pacific region.
• Project affiliation with the Arlindo Mixing project provides scientific context.

Limitations

• Exact row count, file size, and specific column names are unknown.
• Conflicting 'last updated' dates exist between sources (1994-02-25 and 2026-03-05).
• License information is not provided.
