Description
NCEI Accession 0000145 contains measurements of pressure, temperature, salinity, PAR, chlorophyll, and sigma-t from a research cruise in the Southern Ocean. The data were collected by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information and cover a period from October 1997 to November 1999. This dataset likely provides vertical profile data from Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) instruments, a standard tool for physical oceanography.
