Sea Mammals as an ocean observation component
Since 2004, several hundred seals have been equipped with conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensors in the Southern Ocean for both biological and physical oceanographic studies. A calibrated collection of seal-derived hydrographic data is now available from Coriolis, currently consisting of more than 300,000 temperature/salinity profiles.

on the Coriolis ftp server, in /ifremer/marine_mammals/.
In a near future (summer 2015), seal data will be updated daily, and a monthly snapshot of the full database will be produced.
through the Coriolis data selection tool (Sea mammal or Animal profiles).

Since 2004, several hundred seals have been equipped with conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensors in the Southern Ocean for both biological and physical oceanographic studies. A calibrated collection of seal-derived hydrographic data is now available from Coriolis, currently consisting of more than 300,000 temperature/salinity profiles.

In a near future (summer 2015), seal data will be updated daily, and a monthly snapshot of the full database will be produced.
