Line 90 drawn as a section — the ship, its gear to depth, one pin per data category — with the station grid and every dataset's measured years under it. Every colour is a brand token; every number is read from the release.

A 1993–2013, month-matched, 10 m-binned baseline ships in the release; ctd-transects, the Explorer's Sections lens and calcofi4r::cc_climatology() now subtract the same table.

A 1955 oxygen spike flagged suspect since 1955 had been drawn for years; every consumer now applies each dataset's own quality flags. Cruise keys resolve by date span, so casts stop drifting onto the neighbouring month's cruise.
