South Atlantic Ocean Temperature Profiles from CTD Casts

Temperature profile data were collected using CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) casts from the R/V JAMES CLARK ROSS during a one-week cruise in November 1994. The dataset is part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) project and was submitted by the British Oceanographic Data Center and Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory. It represents a specific snapshot of oceanographic conditions in the South Atlantic Ocean.

Use Cases

• Analyzing vertical temperature structure in the South Atlantic Ocean.
• Calibrating or validating ocean circulation and climate models for the 1994 period.
• Studying short-term oceanic variability during a specific research cruise.
• Providing a reference point for historical oceanographic conditions in the region.

Strengths

• Data originates from a recognized scientific cruise (R/V JAMES CLARK ROSS) under the WOCE project.
• Collection method is specified as CTD casts, a standard oceanographic technique.
• Temporal coverage is precisely defined from 15 to 21 November 1994.

Limitations

• No column names, row counts, or file size information are available from any source.
• Conflicting 'last updated' dates exist: one source shows 1994-11-21, while others show 2026-03 05.
• License information is not provided.
