Arabian Sea CTD data were collected from multiple platforms, including the MANGEN, from January 1992 to December 1994. The dataset contains vertical profiles of temperature, salinity, conductivity, oxygen concentration, oxygen saturation, Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR), and fluorometric readings. It was submitted by the University of Miami in support of the North Arabian Sea Environment and Ecosystem Research (NASEER) project.
Use Cases
- Analyzing vertical structure of water temperature and salinity in the Arabian Sea.
- Studying dissolved oxygen profiles and saturation levels for biogeochemical research.
- Investigating relationships between Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) and fluorometric readings for phytoplankton studies.
- Modeling oceanographic conditions in the North Arabian Sea from 1992 to 1994.
Strengths
- Contains a multi-year time series covering over two years (1992-1994).
- Includes multiple key oceanographic variables: temperature, salinity, oxygen, PAR, and fluorescence.
- Data was collected for a specific, funded research project (NASEER), indicating a focused scientific purpose.
Limitations
- Exact row count, file size, and specific column names are unknown.
- Conflicting 'last updated' dates: one source lists 2026-03-05, another lists 1994-12 28.
