Processed SADCP data from the Marion Island Relief Voyage on SA Agulhas II Voyage 011, April 2014

This is processed Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (SADCP) data from the Marion Island Relief Voyage on SA Agulhas II Voyage 011, 14 April to 14 May 2014. The 2014 Marion Relief Voyage on board South Africa’s polar research and supply vessel MV SA Agulhas II, offered another opportunity to conduct multi-disciplinary ship-based oceanographic research focusing on links and interactions between air and sea, ocean physics, chemistry, biogeochemistry and biology. The overall aim was to continue contributing to the establishment of an oceanographic observation and monitoring system directed by South African research institutions in support of South Africa’s needs – and where possible, the global requirements of GOOS, SOOS, CCAMLR, ACAP, etc. With the recent declaration in 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. 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.

此为经处理之船载多普勒声学流速剖面仪（SADCP）数据，源自2014年4月14日至5月14日SA Agulhas II号船 Marion Island Relief Voyage 011航次。2014年，南非极地研究与补给船MV SA Agulhas II上的Marion Relief Voyage，为开展跨学科船载海洋学调研提供了又一良机，该调研聚焦于大气与海洋之间的联系与相互作用，以及海洋物理学、化学、生物地球化学和生物学等领域。总体目标是为南非研究机构主导的海洋观测与监控系统建设作出持续贡献，并尽可能满足全球海洋观测系统（GOOS）、海洋观测系统（SOOS）、南大洋海洋生物资源养护委员会（CCAMLR）、南极海洋生物资源养护公约（ACAP）等全球需求。鉴于2013年4月对爱德华王子群岛（PEIs）作为南非首个海上海洋保护区（MPA）的宣布，此次航次的成果将进一步促进对结合岛屿与海洋生态系统的综合视角和深入理解。该数据集采用旧有标准进行处理，可能与国际最佳实践及林业、渔业和环境部（DFFE）目前遵循的标准不符。该部门正在重新处理并替换数据，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，用户在使用当前状态和格式的数据时需承担全部风险。林业、渔业和环境部（DFFE）对数据不承担任何明示或暗示的保证，包括但不限于任何关于商业性或特定用途的适用性的保证。对于任何有关数据的问题，用户可决定与列出的负责人联系，以获取数据质量方面的见解，在可能的情况下。同时，强烈建议用户就其拟议的项目与列出的负责人进行联系，以避免研究工作的重复。
