Summary

Abstract: Oceanographic measurements were conducted in the Subantarctic Zone south of Tasmania in September 1997. 5 sediment trap moorings were deployed, and a total of 10 CTD vertical profiles were taken. Over 90 Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity and nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate).

The fields in this dataset are:
oceanography
ship
station number
date
start time
bottom time
finish time

start position
bottom position
finish position
maximum position
bottom depth
pressure
temperature (T-90)
salinity
sigma-T
specific volume anomaly
