Chemical, physical, and other data from bottle and CTD casts from the MELVILLE from the Indian Ocean as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Geochemical Ocean Study (IDOE/GEOSECS) from 1977-11-10 to 1978-02-14 (NCEI Accession 8000417)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 27, 2026 at 11:02 PM | Dataset Last Updated: February 15, 2026 at 12:00 AM
Chemical, physical, and other data were collected from bottle and CTD casts in the Indian Ocean from the MELVILLE from 10 November 1977 to 14 February 1978. Data were collected by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Geochemical Ocean Study (IDOE/GEOSECS). Physical parameters include depth, temperature, salinity, pH, and pressure. Chemical parameters include concentrations of carbon dioxide, oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, and silicate. Analog data are available for this accession by contacting NODC user services.
