Temperature profile, pressure, and nutrient data collected via bottle sampling in the South Atlantic Ocean. The dataset spans from 24 November 1987 to 12 March 1989 and includes measurements of oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, silicate, and alkalinity. Data were collected and submitted by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observation.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean nutrient cycles based on phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, silicate, and alkalinity measurements.
- Analyzing historical temperature profiles and pressure data for climate trend studies.
- Correlating oxygen levels with other nutrient data for biogeochemical research.
- Studying spatial-temporal patterns of ocean chemistry in the South Atlantic region.
Strengths
- Includes six specific nutrient properties: oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, silicate, and alkalinity.
- Data collection spans a defined period from 24 November 1987 to 12 March 1989.
- Specifies the collection method (bottle sampling) and geographic region (South Atlantic Ocean).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 1989-04-12 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
