Description
September 1996 measurements of temperature, salinity, conductivity, pressure, and transmissivity collected using a CTD instrument from the R/V Alpha Helix in the Chukchi Sea. The data is provided by NOAA NCEI under accession number 0061042. The dataset represents a snapshot of Arctic oceanographic conditions during a late summer cruise.
Use Cases
Modeling vertical water column profiles based on temperature and salinity data.
Analyzing water clarity and particulate matter based on transmissivity measurements.
Studying Arctic oceanographic conditions for a specific time period based on the cruise date.
Calibrating or validating regional ocean models based on in-situ CTD observations.
Strengths
Data includes five core oceanographic variables: temperature, salinity, conductivity, pressure, and transmissivity.
Specific temporal and geographic scope: Chukchi Sea, September 1996.
Data originates from a recognized research vessel and is archived by NOAA NCEI.
