Water temperature, salinity, and other variables collected from R/V Yuzhmorgeologiya in the Antarctic, Southern Ocean from 1995-01-16 to 2011-03-02 (NCEI Accession 0176315)

Dataset contains continuous underway measurements of ship’s position, sea surface temperature, salinity, turbidity, fluorescence, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, chlorophyll, plus wind speed and direction. These data are part of a long term ecosystem project centered on the South Shetland Islands of the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. The datasets incorporated into this archive have been collected by researchers affiliated with the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) Program under the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); funding for this project was from the NMFS AMLR Program. Actual data collected any given year varies, dependent on funding availability for resources, staging and sea days.
