LMG1305: Underway Oceanographic Data from the R/V Laurence M. Gould

The NSF-supported research icebreaker R/V Laurence M. Gould collected this underway data set during leg LMG1305. The leg traveled from Punta Arenas, Chile to Palmer Station, supporting global change studies in biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic disciplines. The dataset was last updated on May 25, 2013.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal changes in oceanographic parameters based on the time-series nature of underway data.
• Studying biological and chemical properties of Antarctic waters based on the described global change disciplines.
• Modeling physical oceanographic conditions along the ship's transit route from Chile to Palmer Station.
• Correlating underway measurements with other Antarctic research datasets based on the described multi-disciplinary scope.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NSF-supported research icebreaker R/V Laurence M. Gould, a dedicated scientific platform.
• Supports multi-disciplinary global change studies across biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic fields.
• Covers a specific research voyage (LMG1305) with a defined route from Punta Arenas, Chile to Palmer Station.

Limitations

• Last updated 2013-05-25 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.
