Aurora Australis Southern Ocean oceanographic (CTD) data, cruise au9005 (HIMS)

A total of 96 CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) vertical profile stations were taken, most to near bottom. No Niskin bottle water data are available unfortunately (for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, carbon isotopes, primary productivity, and biological parameters.

Measurement and data processing techniques are summarised, and a summary of the data are presented in graphical and tabular form. The fields in this dataset are: oceanography ship station number date start time bottom time finish time cruise start position bottom position finish position maximum position bottom depth pressure temperature (T-90) salinity sigma-T specific volume anomaly geopotential anomaly dissolved oxygen fluorescence photosynthetically active radiation
