    • Biological, chemical, and physical data from CTD/XCTD from five Japanese R/Vs in the North Pacific Ocean and other marginal basins from 1993 to 2003 (NCEI Accession 0002199)

    Metadata Updated: December 1, 2023

    The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has been carrying out oceanographic and marine meteorological observations on board research vessels, at the coastal water temperature observation stations and by ocean data buoys, for the purposes of the better understanding of dynamical processes of the oceanic general circulation affecting climate change, prevention and mitigation of natural disasters, and contributing to international cooperative activities. This Data Report contains the data obtained from the observations made by JMA in 2003 together with the explanations. The observations include the followings:

    1. Oceanographic and Marine Meteorological Observations on board Research Vessels Oceanographic observations are conducted in the seas adjacent to Japan and in the western North Pacific on board five vessels: Ryofu Maru, Keifu Maru, Kofu Maru, Chofu Maru and Seifu Maru.

    2. Coastal Water Temperature Observations JMA has carried out water temperature observations at the coastal stations. Historical time series of 10 day and monthly mean temperatures, daily observations and hourly observations are available in this CD-ROM.

    3. Ocean Data Buoy Observations Operational ocean data buoy observations have been made to obtain marine meteorological and oceanographic observations in the seas around Japan.
