Over 500,000 vertical profiles of Temperature and Salinity have been collected since 2004 in the World Ocean by attaching tags on marine mammals, such as Southern elephant seals.
In this website, you will find information about the marine mammal tagging programs, and an access point to the publicly available MEOP-CTD database.
Please let us know if you are using our data. Send us your contact information if you want to suscribe to the newsletter. And don’t hesitate to contact us (mail to info@meop.net) if you have any question !!
The updated version of the MEOP-CTD database is now available in Ocean Data View as a ready-to-use data collection, thanks to Reiner Schlitzer (AWI, Germany):
