Data from: "Hydrographic data from the area of the Monterey submarine canyon, 1951-1955 : Final report, July 30, 1964"

This dataset contains oceanographic data extracted from the report, "Hydrographic data from the area of the Monterey submarine canyon, 1951-1955," by Rolf Bolin and collaborators. The dataset is comprised of oceanographic observations collected at one station in Monterey Bay, California, USA (36° 42’ N, 122° 02' W), at approximately weekly intervals from January 1951 through December 1954. Variables measured include temperature, salinity, oxygen, phosphorous and silicate at depths from the surface to 1000 meters. The original research was supported by Office of Naval Research Contract N6Onr-25127 and National Science Foundation Contracts NSFG 911, NSDFG 1780. The report was scanned at 400 dpi, and imported to ABBYY FineReader for transcription. All of the data tables were reviewed for accuracy before being exported as CSV files and then concatenated via an R script.
