Description
1998 data from the R/V Laurence M. Gould's LMG9808A transit leg, which started and ended in Punta Arenas, Chile. The dataset contains underway measurements collected by the NSF-supported research icebreaker for global change studies in biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic disciplines. It was last updated in October 1998.
Use Cases
Analyze physical oceanographic conditions during a specific Antarctic transit based on the description of underway data.
Study temporal patterns in marine biological or chemical parameters along a vessel track based on the description of global change studies.
Correlate underway measurements with other Antarctic datasets for climate research based on the described multidisciplinary scope.
Strengths
Data originates from the NSF-supported R/V Laurence M. Gould, a dedicated Antarctic research vessel.
Covers multiple scientific disciplines (biological, chemical, physical, oceanographic) as stated in the description.
Provides a specific temporal anchor with a last update date of 1998-10-08.
