Biogenic silicate concentration in sea water samples, collected from the CTD in the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2016/2017, on board the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.

Dataset abstract

Biogenic Silicate (Bsi) concentration (µmol/L) in seawater data. Water samples were collected from CTD rosette deployments, filtered on board and then analysed by flow injection following appropriate digestion.

This data supports chemical and biological oceanography studies conducted during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.
