Gulf of Mexico Water Quality CTD Profiles from NOAA Ship Oregon II, 2019

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) provides profile data from CTD casts in the Gulf of Mexico. Data collection occurred from 2019-06-09 to 2019-07-18 as part of the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP). The dataset likely contains measurements of water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen.

Use Cases

• Modeling oceanographic conditions based on water temperature and salinity profiles.
• Assessing fishery habitats based on dissolved oxygen and other water quality measurements.
• Analyzing seasonal or spatial variability in the Gulf of Mexico based on the 2019 sampling period.

Strengths

• Data originates from NOAA NCEI, an authoritative source for environmental data.
• Collection period is precisely defined from 2019-06-09 to 2019-07-18.
• Data is associated with the SEAMAP program, a structured monitoring effort.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2019-07-18; freshness should be verified for current applications.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
