CTD data, unit towed simultaneously with a MOCNESS plankton sampler, Antarctic, 2001 and 02, GLOBEC.

CTD observations where collected simultaneously with the towing of the
multi-net MOCNESS plankton sampler (1 and 10 square meter units).
Sampling was conducted during the periods April - September 2001 and
2002. The survey area included the continental margin to the west of
the Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of Adelaide
Island to the southern portion of Alexander Island, Crystal Sound, and
Marguerite Bay. These data represent the water column conditions at
the time/depth each net was open along the towed track. In addition, a
number of critical net tow parameters are reported with the CTD data
stream; as such, the plankton data require these files for ancillary
net tow conditions.

Observations where made from the following ship cruises:
