LMG1402: Underway Antarctic Oceanographic Data from R/V Laurence M. Gould

R/V Laurence M. Gould is a National Science Foundation-supported research icebreaker conducting year-round global change studies. This dataset contains underway data from leg LMG1402, which started and ended in Punta Arenas, Chile. The data was last updated by SCIOPS on March 18, 2014.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in oceanographic conditions based on underway data collection.
• Model physical oceanographic processes in the Antarctic region based on the described data.
• Study global change impacts on Antarctic marine ecosystems based on multidisciplinary data.
• Correlate biological and chemical measurements from a polar research vessel.

Strengths

• Data originates from a dedicated NSF-supported research icebreaker, suggesting high collection standards.
• Covers multidisciplinary global change studies in biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic disciplines.

Limitations

• Last updated 2014-03 18 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.
