Abstract:
Locations of sampling sites for ASAC project 40 on voyage 6 of the Aurora Australis in the 2007/2008 season. Samples were collected between March and April of 2008.
The final dataset will contain information on chlorophyll, carotenoids, coccolithophorids and species indentification and counts.
Two datasets are currently included in this download - a CTD filtration log, and an HPLC filtration
... log.
Public Summary from the project:
This program aims to determine the role of single celled plants, animals, bacteria and viruses in Antarctic waters. We quantify their vital role as food for other organisms, their potential influence in moderating global climate change through absorption of CO2 and production of DMS, and determine their response to effect of climate change.
