Historical hydrographic data from BSH

Thousands of Temperature and salinity profiles obtained by means of Nansen hydrographic casts and available earlier only as station sheets have been digitized at the German Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH). In a cooperative effort between the KlimaCampus of the University of Hamburg and the German Oceanographic Data Centre (DOD, Hamburg) about 7500 hydrographic profiles were checked and identified as missing in the international oceanographic databases. Since most of the profiles were obtained in the decades before the second World War they represent an important extension of the international historical database and a respective contribution to the IOC Global Oceanographic Data Archeology and Rescue Project (GODAR). Since 2009 our efforts resulted in locating about 7500 hydrographic profiles that are not yet available for the oceanographic community.

德国海事与 hydrographic Agency（BSH）已将数千份通过 Nansen 水文测量方法获得的温度和盐度剖面数据进行了数字化处理，这些数据此前仅以站点表的形式存在。汉堡大学 KlimaCampus 与德国海洋数据中心（DOD，汉堡）在合作中，对约7500条水文剖面进行了核查和识别，发现这些剖面在国际海洋数据库中缺失。由于这些剖面大部分是在第二次世界大战前的几十年间获得的，因此它们构成了国际历史数据库的重要补充，并对国际海洋委员会（IOC）全球海洋数据考古与拯救项目（GODAR）做出了相应的贡献。自2009年以来，我们的努力已导致约7500条尚未向海洋学社区开放的水文剖面被定位到。
