Ocean CTD Profiles from NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette, 2010

Hawaii EEZ, central North Pacific Ocean, and other areas were surveyed from January 22 to February 6, 2010. The dataset contains water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters from seven CTD casts to 500 meters depth, collected opportunistically during a cetacean survey transit from Oahu to Guam. Data were gathered by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center's Cetacean Research Program and archived by NOAA NCEI.

Use Cases

• Modeling vertical oceanographic profiles based on CTD casts to 500m
• Analyzing correlations between water temperature and dissolved oxygen in the Pacific
• Studying ocean conditions along cetacean survey transects based on the cruise description

Strengths

• Data collected by a NOAA research vessel and program, providing authoritative measurements.
• Seven CTD casts provide vertical profile data down to a consistent 500-meter terminal depth.
• Specific temporal coverage from 2010-01-22 to 2010-02-06.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2010-02-06 00:00:00; freshness should be verified for current applications.
