From 09 November 1986 to 07 December 1986, temperature profile and water depth data were collected using BT and XBT casts in the SW Pacific Ocean from the vessel RESOLUTION. The data were collected by Texas A & M University.
Use Cases
- Model ocean thermal structure based on temperature profile data.
- Analyze water column properties based on depth and temperature measurements.
- Validate historical oceanographic models based on 1986 SW Pacific observations.
- Study temperature-depth relationships in the SW Pacific Ocean.
Strengths
- Data collected over a defined period from 09 November 1986 to 07 December 1986.
- Specific instrumentation (BT and XBT casts) and vessel (RESOLUTION) are documented.
- Data origin (Texas A & M University) is clearly stated.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last updated 1986-12-07 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
