Underway data from the NSF-supported research icebreaker Laurence M. Gould captures environmental conditions during a dedicated Antarctic research leg. This leg, LMG1310, conducted global change studies in biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic disciplines, starting and ending in Punta Arenas, Chile. The dataset is aggregated by SCIOPS and hosted on NASA's Earthdata platform.
Use Cases
- Analyzing temporal changes in oceanographic conditions based on the underway data collection method.
- Modeling biological and chemical interactions in polar regions based on the multidisciplinary study description.
- Correlating physical oceanographic measurements with global change phenomena mentioned in the description.
Strengths
