Aurora Australis WOCE Southern Ocean oceanographic data, cruise au9407

Oceanographic measurements were conducted in January 1994 (on voyage 7 of the 1993/1994 summer season) along WOCE Southern Ocean meridional section SR3 between Tasmania and Antarctica, and along a northward section lying between 82 and 86 deg.E and crossing the Princess Elizabeth Trough. Additional measurements were made at mooring locations, and at a time series station. A total of 102 CTD vertical profile stations were taken, most to near bottom. Over 2000 Niskin water bottle samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), dissolved inorganic and organic carbon, carbon 13, dimethyl sulphide/dimethyl sulphoniopropionate, iodate/iodide, and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. Measurement and data processing techniques are described, 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 depthpressuresigma-Ttemperature (C) (ITS-90)salinity (PSS78)density-1000 (kg.m-3)specific volume anomaly x 108geopotential anomalydissolved oxygen (mmol.l-1)number of data points used in the 2 dbar averaging binstandard deviation of temperature values in the 2 dbar binstandard deviation of conductivity values in the 2 dbar binfluorescencephotosynthetically active radiationCTD pressure (dbar)CTD temperature (C) (ITS-90)reversing thermometer temperature (C)CTD conductivity (mS.cm-1)CTD salinity (PSS78)bottle salinity (PSS78)bottle quality flag (-1=rejected, 0=suspect, 1=good)niskin bottle number
