Summary

DOI: https://doi.org/10.25921/he8t-r751

Abstract

Dataset contains continuous underway measurements of ship’s position, sea surface temperature, salinity, turbidity, fluorescence, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, plus wind speed and direction. These data are part of a long term ecosystem project centered on the South Shetland Islands of the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. The datasets incorporated into this archive have been collected by researchers affiliated with the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) Program under the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); funding for this project was from the NMFS AMLR Program. Actual data collected any given year varies, dependent on funding availability for resources, staging and sea days.

Description

Collect continuous measurements of ship’s position, sea surface temperature, salinity, turbidity, fluorescence, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, and wind speed and direction were collected during AMLR annual vessel surveys in the Antarctic peninsula region.

Title: AMLR station hydrographic data 1995-2011 v2-0.xlsx
Short Name: AMLR station hydrographic data 1995-2011 v2-0
Status: Completed
Abstract:

Dataset contains continuous underway measurements of ship’s position, sea surface temperature, salinity, turbidity, fluorescence, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, plus wind speed and direction. These data are part of a long term ecosystem project centered on the South Shetland Islands of the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. The datasets incorporated into this archive have been collected by researchers affiliated with the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) Program under the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); funding for this project was from the NMFS AMLR Program. Actual data collected any given year varies, dependent on funding availability for resources, staging and sea days.

Purpose:

These data were collected to support ecosystem studies in the Antarctic peninsula region in support of fisheries management efforts within international treaties (such as CCAMLR). These data allow researchers to describe the ocean environment in the peninsula region of the Antarctic during austral summers.

The datasets incorporated into this archive have been collected by researchers affiliated with the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) Program under the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). These data are part of a long term ecosystem project centered on the South Shetland Islands off the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. Funding for this project was from the NMFS AMLR Program. Data were collected from ship based platforms. The complete metadata records consist of NOAA InPort Records 47663, 11430, 46070; NCEI Reference Record GBJX1U; and NCEI Accession 0176315).

Supplemental Information:

See also annual field season reports for these surveys, available online, with links provided in the archive (https://doi.org/10.25921/he8t-r751). These reports will improve the users understanding of the overall project objectives and accomplishments, which are relevant to how the data may be interpreted and correctly used.
