The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Water temperature, salinity, and other parameters taken by CTD from research vessel Hermano Ginesat at the CARIACO Ocean Time-Series location in the Southeastern Caribbean Sea (Cariaco Basin) from 1995-11-08 to 2017-01-17 (NCEI Accession 0189595) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains Water temperature, salinity, and other parameters taken by CTD from research vessel Hermano Ginesat at the CARIACO Ocean Time-Series location in the Southeastern Caribbean Sea (Cariaco Basin) from 1995-11-08 to 2017-01-17. The CARIACO Ocean Time-Series project has been studying the relationship between surface primary production (carbon fixation rates by photosynthesis of planktonic algae), regional hydrography, physical forcing variables (such as the wind), and the settling flux of particulate organic carbon in the Cariaco Basin. This tectonic depression, located on the continental shelf of eastern Venezuela, shows marked seasonal and interannual variation in hydrography and primary production, with a seasonal wind-induced coastal upwelling. Below about 250 m, the Cariaco Basin waters are permanently anoxic. This CTD data set is part of the core variables collected monthly at the time-series station. Each CTD profile has a depth resolution of 1 meter up to 1300 meters, and it is a composite of 4 casts completed during a 24-hour period. Missing or not-collected data are denoted by -9999. Data are in CSV format. |
