Temperature profile, pressure, and chemical data were collected using XBT, bottle, and CTD casts in the Arctic Ocean from May 6, 2003 to May 5, 2004. Data were collected and submitted by the Polar Science Center; Applied Physics Lab; University of Washington and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. The dataset is archived by NOAA_NCEI.
Use Cases
- Analyze vertical temperature profiles based on XBT and CTD cast data
- Study pressure variations in the Arctic Ocean based on cast measurements
- Investigate chemical composition based on bottle sample data
- Model seasonal changes in ocean properties based on the one-year time series
Strengths
- Data collected by multiple institutions including the Polar Science Center and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
- One-year temporal coverage from May 2003 to May 2004
- Multiple measurement methods used: XBT, bottle, and CTD casts
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last updated 2004-05-05 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
