This Data Report contains the data obtained from the observations made by JMA in 2001 together with the explanations. Platforms include CHOFU MARU (call sign JCCX) (Operation dates: 1987 to present), SEIFU MARU (call sign JIVB) (Operation dates: 1993 to present) and others. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0000907 Preview graphic PNG 0000907 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2003-02-06 publication CHLOROPHYLL NUTRIENTS PHYTOPLANKTON WATER TEMPERATURE ZOOPLANKTON theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS bathythermograph - BT CTD XCTD instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS plankton profile theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS CHOFU MARU KEIFU MARU KOFU MARU Ryofu Maru SEIFU MARU SHUMPU MARU platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Japan Meteorological Agency dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS East China Sea (Tung Hai) Japan Sea North Pacific Ocean Philippine Sea South China Sea (Nan Hai) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce JP/JMA > Japan Meteorological Agency, Japan dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
