Aurora Australis WOCE Southern Ocean oceanographic data, cruise au9601

Oceanographic measurements were conducted along WOCE Southern Ocean meridional section SR3 between Tasmania and Antarctica from August to September 1996. A total of 71 CTD vertical profile stations were taken, most to near bottom. Over 1500 Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, carbon isotopes, primary productivity, and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. Measurement and data processing techniques are summarised, and a summary of the data are presented in graphical and tabular form.The fields in this dataset are:oceanographyshipstation numberdatestart timebottom timefinish timecruisestart positionbottom positionfinish positionmaximum positionbottom depthpressuretemperature (T-90)salinitysigma-Tspecific volume anomalygeopotential anomalydissolved oxygenfluorescencephotosynthetically active radiation
