A dataset of temperature, salinity and depth profile of sea water based on No.6 Buoy of the East China Observation Station during 2014–2015

Abstract

Temperature, salinity and depth are important parameters of the ocean physical properties as well as the basic elements of the ocean hydrological observation. Muti-layered water observation data of temperature, salinity and depth are obtained by Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS), using the ocean comprehensive observation buoy system No.6 of East Sea station of an offshore marine observation and research net-work (OMORN), from October, 2014. Self-contained combined sensors are mounted on mooring, by means of self-contained combined sensors mounted on mooring chains, and 412 days of temperature, salinity and depth observational data in four layers are obtained. In order to make better use of these data, we process them with standard data processing methods and quality control system. Also, download service on the internet is provided for the user. These datas provide the support for marine scientific research and for the social development on this area.The dataset is table data. The subsets are recorded as “A dataset of temperature, salinity and depth profile of sea water Based on No.6 Buoy of the East China Observation station in 2014–2015.zip”. The dataset is made up of 48 tables, including eight observation periods and four profiles, named by buoy No ,layer, year, date of effective observation and parameter code.
