LMG0612: Underway Data from Antarctic Research Icebreaker Laurence M. Gould

R/V Laurence M. Gould LMG0612 is a dataset of underway data collected during a research leg of the NSF-supported icebreaker. The leg started and ended at Punta Arenas, Chile, supporting the U.S. Antarctic Program. The dataset was last updated on November 30, 2006.

Use Cases

• Analyze marine environmental conditions based on underway data collection mentioned in the description.
• Study temporal changes in Antarctic waters based on the time-series nature of ship-based measurements.
• Model physical oceanographic processes based on data from a dedicated research icebreaker.
• Investigate biogeochemical cycles in polar regions based on multidisciplinary data collection.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NSF-supported research icebreaker Laurence M. Gould, an authoritative platform.
• Covers multidisciplinary global change studies in biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic fields.

Limitations

• Last updated 2006-11-30 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
