LMG9805: Antarctic Icebreaker Underway Data from 1998

R/V Laurence M. Gould leg LMG9805 collected underway data during a research transit starting and ending in Punta Arenas, Chile. The NSF-supported icebreaker conducts year-round global change studies in biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic disciplines. The data was last updated on July 27, 1998.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions along the transit route based on the description of physical and chemical data collection.
• Study biological patterns in Antarctic waters based on the mention of biological disciplines.
• Model ship-based transit logistics for polar research based on the vessel's operational details.
• Conduct time-series analysis of underway measurements based on the likely temporal nature of the data.

Strengths

• Data originates from a dedicated NSF-supported research icebreaker, suggesting institutional credibility.
• Covers multiple scientific disciplines (biological, chemical, physical, oceanographic) as stated in the description.

Limitations

• Last updated 1998-07 27 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.
