Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Temperature, salinity, and nutrients data from bottle, CTD, and XBT casts from the JOHN P. TULLY and other vessels in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans from 03 August 1959 to 01 July 2001 (NCEI Accession 0000664)

Preview graphic

Bottle, CTD, and XBT data were collected in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans from the John P. Tully and other vessels from 03 August 1959 to 01 July 2001. Data include temperature and salinity profiles. Data also include concentration profiles of chlorophyll a, oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate. Data were submitted by the Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) of Canada and are in the MEDS ASCII format.
