The oceanographic dataset collected during the research cruise identified as CD59 on board the RRS Charles Darwin
This dataset comprises 18 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, during May - June 1991 from stations in the North Atlantic between approximately 37 - 55 N, 12 - 35 W. A complete list of all data parameters are described by the SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) keywords assigned in this metadata record. The data were collected by the University of Liverpool Department of Earth Sciences as part of the UK's contribution to the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE).

Quality and validity
- Lineage
- This dataset was collected by the originators and provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC). Data have undergone BODC quality control procedures described in https://www.bodc.ac.uk/data/documents/nodb/63428/ prior to long term archive and management. Further information about data collection, data processing and data quality reports are linked to the individual profile references in the cruise metadata document linked to this metadata record.

- Explanation
- BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.
