5829 RE004AA2 Historical Monitoring Stations Data Set Published / External 5814 Historical Research Environmental Metadata Portfolio Project Completed Environmental data were collected between 1956 and 1974 during various time periods at thirteen monitoring stations and by two steamships in the Pacific Ocean. Data collection includes date/time and position of collection, cloud cover, sea condition, wind direction, air temperature, sea temperature and surface salinity.
