Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations during the R/V Aurora Australis cruise AA9706, WOCE_SR03_1998 (EXPOCODE 09AR19980228) in the Southern Ocean from 1998-02-28 to 1998-04-01 (NCEI Accession 0115154)

This dataset includes discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and delta C13 obtained during the R/V Aurora Australis cruise AA9706, WOCE_SR03_1998 (EXPOCODE 09AR19980228) in the Southern Ocean from 1998-02-28 to 1998-04-01. These data were collected by Bronte Tilbrook of Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Benjamin McNeil of UNSW, Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC), and Mark Rosenberg of University of Tasmania (UTAS) as part of the WOCE_SR03_1998 dataset. The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a major component of the World Climate Research Program with the overall goal of better understanding the ocean's role in climate and climatic changes resulting from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The CO2 survey took advantage of the sampling opportunities provided by the WOCE Hydrographic Program (WHP) cruises during this period between 1990 and 1998. The final collection covers approximately 23,000 stations from 94 WOCE cruises.

这个数据集包含1998年2月28日至1998年4月1日期间，在南大洋开展的极光号科考船（R/V Aurora Australis）AA9706航次、WOCE_SR03_1998航次（科考编码EXPOCODE：09AR19980228）中获取的溶解无机碳（DIC）、总碱度、温度、盐度、溶解氧、营养盐及碳13同位素比值（delta C13）的离散剖面测量数据。这些数据由澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization，CSIRO）的Bronte Tilbrook、新南威尔士大学（UNSW）气候变化研究中心（Climate Change Research Centre，CCRC）的Benjamin McNeil，以及塔斯马尼亚大学（University of Tasmania，UTAS）的Mark Rosenberg共同采集，是WOCE_SR03_1998数据集的一部分。世界海洋环流实验（World Ocean Circulation Experiment，WOCE）是世界气候研究计划的重要组成部分，其总体目标是更好地理解海洋在气候及由自然和人为因素引起的气候变化中的作用。二氧化碳（CO₂）调查利用了1990至1998年期间WOCE水文计划（WOCE Hydrographic Program，WHP）航次提供的采样机会。最终数据集涵盖了来自94个WOCE航次的约23000个观测站数据。
