Southern Oceans data were collected from the ROGER REVELLE research vessel between 12 January and 03 February 1998. Physical and biological measurements were taken using fluorometer and CTD casts. The data were submitted by Dr. Robert O'Malley of Oregon State University for the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study / Southern Ocean (JGOFS/Southern Ocean) project.
Use Cases
- Analyzing chlorophyll-a concentrations based on fluorometer measurements mentioned in the description
- Studying water column properties like temperature and salinity based on CTD cast data
- Investigating biological productivity in the Southern Ocean based on combined physical and biological data
- Supporting carbon cycle and ocean flux modeling for the JGOFS/Southern Ocean project
Strengths
- Data collection covers a specific 23-day period in January-February 1998
- Includes measurements from two specific instrument types: fluorometer and CTD casts
- Associated with a specific research project (JGOFS/Southern Ocean)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last updated 1998-02-03 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
