Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Temperature, salinity and other measurements taken from the ALIS, TETHYS II, and other French platforms in the Mediterranean, Antarctic and other locations from 1986-09-03 to 2000-06-04 (NCEI Accession 0000721)

Preview graphic

Bottle and CTD data were collected from MULTIPLE FRENCH PLATFORMS from a World-Wide distribution. Data were collected from multiple institutions in support of WOCE and JGOFS from 01 January 1998 to 31 December 2000. Bottle parameters include concentration profiles of dissolved oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, silicate, chlorophyll-a, silicate, dissolved organic carbon, and total phaeopigments. CTD parameters include profiles of temperature and salinity.
