Summary
Abstract: The NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis project is using a state-of-the-art
analysis/forecast system to perform data assimilation using past data
from 1948 to the present. A large subset of this data is available
from CDC in its original 4 times daily format and as daily averages.
However, the data from 1948-1957 is a little different, in the regular
(non-Gaussian) gridded data. ... View entire text

Quality Only 17 RMT hauls were able to be made due to severe conditions. The main sampling system used was a rectangular midwater trawl (RMT 8) of 8 square meter mouth area, and 4.5 mm mesh. Initially 0-200 meter downward hauls were made, followed by 0-150m hauls. On runs between stations more than 30 nautical miles apart, a continuous underway (Hardy) plankton recorder (CPR) was used, 300 micro-meter mesh internally. Between Heard Island and Kerguelen, and after Kerguelen the CPR was deployed for normal run times of about 500 nautical miles. 17 RMT 8 shots were made, plus 11 short CPR runs of 30-50 nautical miles and 4 long CPR runs of 250-500 nautical miles. Initial examination was made on board, with the majority of the processing being completed at the Australian Antarctic Division.
