LMG1702: Underway Data from Antarctic Research Cruise

R/V Laurence M. Gould operates year-round for the U.S. Antarctic Program, conducting global change studies. This data set consists of underway measurements from leg LMG1702, which sailed from and returned to Punta Arenas, Chile. The data was last updated on March 21, 2017.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns of oceanographic conditions based on underway data collection.
• Study biological and chemical changes in Antarctic waters based on the described global change studies.
• Model physical oceanographic processes in the Southern Ocean based on the research vessel's operational scope.
• Correlate environmental measurements from a specific cruise leg (LMG1702) based on its defined route.

Strengths

• Data originates from a dedicated NSF-supported research icebreaker.
• Covers multiple scientific disciplines: biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic.
• Provides a specific cruise leg (LMG1702) with a defined start and end point.

Limitations

• Last updated 2017-03-21 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.
