Ocean Water Pressure and CTD Data from Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, 1974-1999

Water pressure and other data were collected using CTD casts in the North and South Atlantic and North and South Pacific Ocean from 28 June 1974 to 20 August 1999. The data were collected by the University of Hamburg and Institut Fuer Meereskunde and are archived by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Analyzing vertical water pressure profiles based on CTD cast data
• Studying long-term oceanographic trends in the Atlantic and Pacific basins based on the 25-year collection period
• Modeling ocean water column properties based on the described CTD measurements

Strengths

• Data collection spans a 25-year period from 1974 to 1999
• Geographic coverage includes the North and South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
• Data originates from a specific research institution (University of Hamburg; Institut Fuer Meereskunde)

Limitations

• Last updated 1999-08-20 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
