Temperature, salinity, and nutrients data from CTD and bottle casts in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans from 1969-04-10 to 1995-08-17 (NCEI Accession 0000426)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 01:11 AM | Dataset Last Updated: November 14, 2022 at 12:00 AM
CTD, bottle, and other data were collected from the CHARLES DARWIN and other vessels in the Atlantic Ocean from 10 April 1969 to 17 August 1995. CTD data include temperature and salinity profiles. Bottle data include profiles of percent oxygen saturation, sigma-t, computed potential attenuance, and chlorophyll concentration. Data were submitted by the British Oceanographic Data Center (BODC).
