Description
1998 data from the R/V Laurence M. Gould's LMG9807 transit leg, which started and ended in Talcahuano, Chile. The dataset consists of underway data collected by the NSF-supported research icebreaker for global change studies in biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic disciplines. It was last updated on September 4, 1998.
Use Cases
Analyze physical oceanographic conditions during a ship transit based on the description of physical discipline data.
Study biological or chemical indicators in Antarctic waters based on the mention of biological and chemical disciplines.
Model time-series environmental trends from underway ship measurements.
Correlate ship-collected data with other Antarctic research datasets.
Strengths
Data originates from a dedicated NSF-supported Antarctic research icebreaker.
Covers multiple scientific disciplines: biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic.
Provides a specific temporal snapshot from the 1998 LMG9807 transit leg.
