North Pacific Process Study (JGOFS) (NCEI Accession 0001873)

All of these data were used in the JGOFS Synthesis Study following the NPPS field programs. The NPTT/NPSG has discussed about the production of the data set resulting from the NPPS, mainly to establish a basis for the future biogeochemical studies in the North Pacific as a legacy of the JGOFS NPPS.

The NPSG asked the Japan Oceanographic Data Center, hosting the JGOFS Japan Data Management Office, to work on it, and the JODC kindly agreed to publish the NPPS Data Set for the worldwide distribution for free. It is our sincere hope, by publishing this NPPS Data Set, to make the oceanographic data and information in the North Pacific, especially in the western North Pacific, more visible and available to the international research community.
