A dataset from the NOAA NCEI archive containing measurements of turbidity and particulate organic carbon, likely alongside other oceanographic variables. The data was collected from the vessel RORQUAL between November 12, 1973, and June 5, 1975. The dataset is hosted on the NASA Earthdata platform.
Use Cases
- Modeling relationships between turbidity and particulate organic carbon in marine environments (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Analyzing temporal trends in coastal or open-ocean water quality parameters (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Calibrating or validating satellite-derived ocean color products (inferred from domain, verify after download)
Strengths
- Published on the authoritative NASA Earthdata platform.
- Data originates from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
- Has a clearly defined temporal range from 1973-11-12 to 1975-06-05.
Limitations
- Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
- Last updated 1975-06-05 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
