Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Physical, biological, and chemical CTD and bottle data from multiple platforms from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) from 1983-01-29 to 2018-02-27 (NCEI Accession 0175327)

Preview graphic

Oceanographic profiles of temperature, salinity, oxygen, and other variables were acquired during numerous cruises in the North Atlantic, Barents, Norwegian, Baltic and North Seas, and the Southern Indian Ocean from 1983 to 2018. The data were submitted to the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and then submitted to NCEI by ICES. The measurements were made by CTD and bottle instruments.
