Abstract:
10 full depth CTD casts were taken in the vicinity of Mawson and Casey as part of the geoscience work on Aurora Australis cruise au9705, January to March 1997. A 12 bottle rosette sampler was used to collect salinity samples only, for calibration of CTD data.
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
sigma-T
specific volume anomaly
geopotential anomaly
temperature (C) (ITS-90)
salinity (PSS78)
density-1000 (kg.m-3)
specific volume anomaly x 108
geopotential anomaly
dissolved oxygen (mmol.l-1)
number of data points used in the 2 dbar averaging bin
standard deviation of temperature values in the 2 dbar bin
standard deviation of conductivity values in the 2 dbar bin
station number
CTD pressure (dbar)
CTD temperature (oC) (ITS-90)
reversing thermometer temperature (C)
CTD conductivity (mS.cm-1)
CTD salinity (PSS78)
bottle salinity (PSS78)
bottle quality flag (-1=rejected, 0=suspect, 1=good)
