Generally, over 1000 profiles are collected each year on the northeast continental shelf from Cape Hatteras to the Gulf of Maine. Profiles are collected at every station on the Center's bottom trawl surveys and at every station on the Center's Ecosystem Monitoring surveys. The database also contains historical hydrographic data from earlier programs, which used other methods to measure temperature and salinity. To provide hydrographic measurements made by the NEFSC to support research, assessment, and management activities in the Northeast U.S. Shelf Ecosystem. completed Melrose, Christopher 28 Tarzwell Drive Narragansett RI 02882 chris.melrose@noaa.gov pointOfContact Melrose, Christopher 28 Tarzwell Drive Narragansett RI 02882 chris.melrose@noaa.gov custodian monthly Conductivity Depth Temperature climate hydrography oceanography salinity water column theme 1977-present temporal Gulf of Maine Middle Atlantic Bight Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/NEFSC > Northeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
