Preliminary processed and bin averaged CTD data from the Marion Island Relief Voyage on the SA Agulhas II Voyage 019, April 2016

This is processed Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) data (1m BinAvg) from the Marion Island Relief Voyage on the MV SA Agulhas II Voyage 019, 7 April to 16 May 2016. The 2016 Marion Relief Voyage 019 offered the 4th opportunity to conduct multi-disciplinary, ship-based marine research focusing on links and interactions between air and sea, ocean physics, chemistry, biogeochemistry and biology, including microbial, planktic and benthic communities on board South Africa’s polar research and supply vessel MV SA Agulhas II en route to, and around, the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward archipelago. The overall aim was to continue contributing to an oceanographic observation and monitoring system directed by South African research institutions in support of South Africa’s needs – and where possible, in support of global requirements of inter alia the Global Oceans Observing System (GOOS), the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS), the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), and the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels (ACAP).With the declaration on 9 April 2013 of the Prince Edward Islands (PEIs) as South Africa’s first offshore Marine Protected Area (MPA), the outcomes of this cruise will further contribute toward an integrated view and a better understanding of the functioning of the combined island/marine PEI ecosystem.

本数据集为2016年4月7日至5月16日，在MV SA Agulhas II航次019中，对马里昂岛救援航次进行处理的电导率、温度、深度（CTD）数据（1米平均分箱数据）。2016年马里昂救援航次019提供了第四次机会，以在南非极地研究供应船MV SA Agulhas II的航行途中及其周边，开展跨学科、基于船舶的海洋研究，重点研究大气与海洋之间的联系及相互作用，以及海洋物理学、化学、生物地球化学和生物学，包括微生物、浮游生物和底栖生物群落。总体目标是为南非研究机构指导的海洋观测和监控系统做出持续贡献，并在可能的情况下，支持全球海洋观测系统（GOOS）、南大洋观测系统（SOOS）、《南极海洋生物资源养护公约》（CCAMLR）和《关于养护信天翁和海燕的协定》（ACAP）等全球需求。随着2013年4月9日宣布爱德华王子群岛（PEIs）为南非首个海上海洋保护区（MPA），此次航次的成果将进一步促进对综合视角和PEI岛群/海洋生态系统功能的更好理解的深化。本数据集采用旧标准进行处理，可能不符合国际最佳实践以及南非林业、渔业和环境部（DFFE）目前所遵循的标准。该部门正在重新处理和替换数据，以确保所有数据格式一致且质量相同，一旦完成，数据集将被标记为已过时。因此，用户在使用这些数据及其当前状态和格式时承担全部风险。DFFE声明，对数据的任何明示或默示保证，包括但不限于任何关于适销性或特定用途的适用性的保证，概不负责。对于有关数据的任何疑问，用户可决定与列出的主要研究人员（PIs）联系，他们将在可能的情况下分享对数据质量的见解。还强烈建议用户与列出的PIs就其拟议的项目进行联系，以避免研究努力的重复。本数据集采用旧标准进行处理，可能不符合国际最佳实践以及南非林业、渔业和环境部（DFFE）目前所遵循的标准。该部门正在重新处理和替换数据，以确保所有数据格式一致且质量相同，一旦完成，数据集将被标记为已过时。因此，用户在使用这些数据及其当前状态和格式时承担全部风险。DFFE声明，对数据的任何明示或默示保证，包括但不限于任何关于适销性或特定用途的适用性的保证，概不负责。对于有关数据的任何疑问，用户可决定与列出的主要研究人员（PIs）联系，他们将在可能的情况下分享对数据质量的见解。还强烈建议用户与列出的PIs就其拟议的项目进行联系，以避免研究努力的重复。
