This CD-ROM is an update of the special issue (No.S1) published in 2001. A major update means the addition of new data by the research vessels by the end of 2008. This dataset includes water temperature, salinity, and nutrients measurements collected in the North Pacific Ocean from research vessels from 1964 to 2008, and from ocean data buoys from 1978 to 2000. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has carried out oceanographic observations for monitoring ocean variability which ranges from seasons to decades.
