The role of Antarctic marine protists in trophodynamics and global change and the impact of UV-B on these organisms - Voyage 3, Aurora Australis 2007/2008 samples

Locations of sampling sites for ASAC project 40 on voyage 3 of the Aurora Australis in the 2007/2008 season (the CEAMARC voyage). Samples were collected between December 2007 and January of 2008.The final dataset will contain information on chlorophyll, carotenoids, coccolithophorids and species identification and counts.Public Summary from the project:This program aims to determine the role of single celled plants, animals, bacteria and viruses in Antarctic waters. We quantify their vital role as food for other organisms, their potential influence in moderating global climate change through absorption of CO2 and production of DMS, and determine their response to effect of climate change.For more information, see the other metadata records related to ASAC project 40 (ASAC_40).The fields in this dataset are:Tube LabelDate (UTC)Time (UTC)DepthLatitudeLongitudeSea TemperatureIce (Presence or Absence - 1 or 0)LugolsHPLCFlurometer - Chlorophyll aCocco SampleFlow rateComments
