Eastern North Pacific Water Temperature and Salinity from Cruise TT-045, 1969

STD data collected for the Office of Naval Research study of the Eastern North Pacific Transition Zone. The data was gathered during cruise TT-045 of the RV Thomas G. Thompson from November to December 1969. It is provided by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information under accession number 7001269.

Use Cases

• Analyzing seasonal water temperature variations in the Eastern North Pacific based on the cruise time frame
• Modeling ocean salinity gradients in a transition zone based on the study's stated geographic focus
• Calibrating modern oceanographic models with historical in-situ measurements based on the STD data type

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific research cruise (TT-045) and vessel (RV Thomas G. Thompson).
• Covers a defined temporal range from November 1 to December 6, 1969.
• Originates from a recognized authoritative source (NOAA NCEI).

Limitations

• Last updated 1969-12-11 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.
