PAPA site
Ocean Station Papa (OSP or Sta. P) is located at 50°N, 145°W,
approximately 1500 km due west from the
approaches to the Juan de Fuca Strait at
125°W in 4200 m of water, and is
representative of the northeast subarctic
Pacific Ocean (southern edge of the Alaska
gyre).
JGOFS-relevant research at OSP evolved from the co-located Canadian weathership sampling program (December 1949 - June 1981), the Subarctic Pacific Ecosystem Research (SUPER) programme (1984
1988) and the Canadian JGOFS field programme (1992 - 1997). Since 1998, the scientists and technical staff in the Ocean Science and Productivity Division of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada (DFO) have continued to support two or three
cruises to OSP per year to continue the previous decades of seasonal sampling.
To get an overview about the data available in the following section, please have a look at the map and the variable/parameter profiles (.pdf document).
In order to present properly the results Ocean Data View (Reiner Schlitzer, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research) has been applied.
Data are available as tab-delimited .txt files in ASCII format. If you have comments on that, please let me know (Nicolas Dittert, WDC-MARE).
All ORFOIS related data with respect to PAPA are continuously updated.
Whenever you use data of the ORFOIS data compilation that refer to the PAPA data collection, please quote the citations of the
