Zooplankton, oceanographic profile, and other data collected from MOCNESS nets from the NATHANIEL B. PALMER in the Antarctic in support of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) / Southern Ocean and the US JGOFS Antarctic Environments Southern Ocean Process Study (AESOPS) projects from 08 September 1996 to 25 April 1997 (NCEI Accession 0000499)

Net, CTD, bottle, and other data were collected from the NATHANIEL B. PALMER from the Antarctic Ocean (> 60 degrees South) from 08 September 1996 to 25 April 1997. Data were collected in suport of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) / Southern Ocean and the US JGOFS Antarctic Environments Southern Ocean Process Study (AESOPS) projects. Zooplankton were collected using a Multiple Opening Closing Net and Environmental Sampling System (MOCNESS) and displaced volumes were determined. CTD parameters include conductivity, temperature, and salinity profiles. Bottle parameters include concentrations of trace metals.
