WOCE Repeat Hydrography Bottle Data

Koltermann, Klaus-Peter

Experiment
Summary
REPEAT HYDROGRAPHY DATA
The repeat hydrography survey of the WOCE provided information on the temporal
variability of the ocean along selected sections from several occupations
in different sasons and years.

Typically, at each hydrographic station temperature,salinity,dissolved
oxygen and nutrients were measured.
