NSF-supported research icebreaker Laurence M. Gould collected this underway data during leg LMG0107, which started and ended in Punta Arenas, Chile. The vessel operates year-round for the U.S. Antarctic Program, conducting global change studies across biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic disciplines. The data set was last updated in September 2001.
Use Cases
- Analyzing physical oceanographic conditions based on underway data collection.
- Studying global change in Antarctic marine environments based on the multidisciplinary research scope.
- Calibrating or validating oceanographic models based on in-situ measurements from a dedicated research icebreaker.
Strengths
- Data originates from the NSF-supported, dedicated research icebreaker R/V Laurence M. Gould.
- Supports multidisciplinary global change studies across four core disciplines.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
