Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Oceanographic profile Temperature, Salinity and other measurements collected using bottle from the CHAIN in the North Atlantic and other locations from 1958 to 1968 (NCEI Accession 0000445)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
Primary production, temperature, meteorological, and other data were collected from the CHAIN in the North Atlantic and other locations from 08 December 1958 to 16 April 1968. Data include profiles of temperature, salinity, pH, and rates of primary production. Data also include concentration profiles of oxygen, particulate organic carbon, phosphate, total phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, silicate, ammonia, and chlorophyll a. Data were submitted by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) and are in a comma separated value (.csv) format.
