Processed Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) data collection from the International Indian Ocean Expedition 2 (IIOE2) cruise on SA Agulhas II Voyage 028, October 2017

This is processed Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) data from the IIOE2 on SA Agulhas II Voyage 028 from October - November, 2017. The International Indian Ocean Expedition 2 is a collaborative regional cruise to build capacity and strength within Africa. The focus will be on developing students in the region in the areas of physical oceanography, chemistry, biological oceanography, benthic biodiversity, marine top predators and marine plastics. This dataset was processed using older standards which may not align with international best practices and the standards currently adhered to by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE). The Department is re-processing and replacing data to ensure everything has the same format and is of the same quality and datasets will be marked as obsoleted once that is done. As such the user assumes the entire risk related to the use of these data in its current state and format. DFFE disclaims all warranties of the data whether expressed or implied, including without limitation, any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. For any concerns regarding the data, the user may decide to liaise with the listed PIs who will share their insight on the data quality, where possible. It is also strongly recommended that the user liaises with the listed PIs regarding their proposed projects to mitigate against duplication of research efforts.

本数据集为2017年10月至11月期间，来自SA Agulhas II航次028的经过处理的电导率、温度、深度（CTD）数据，该数据由国际印度洋考察第二阶段（IIOE2）处理。国际印度洋考察第二阶段是一次旨在提升非洲区域实力的区域合作巡航活动。考察重点在于培养区域学生在物理海洋学、化学、生物海洋学、底栖生物多样性、海洋顶级捕食者和海洋塑料等领域的专业知识。该数据集采用较旧的标准进行处理，可能与国际最佳实践及林业、渔业与环境保护部（DFFE）当前遵循的标准不符。DFFE正在重新处理和替换数据，以确保所有数据格式统一且质量一致，一旦完成，将标记为过时数据集。因此，用户在使用当前状态和格式下的这些数据时，需承担全部相关风险。DFFE对数据不承担任何明示或暗示的保证，包括但不限于商品性或特定用途的适用性保证。对于数据相关的任何疑问，用户可联系列出的主要研究员（PIs），以获取有关数据质量的信息，如有可能。同时，强烈建议用户就其拟开展的项目与列出的PIs进行联系，以避免研究工作的重复。
