Metadata details
SAZ_Chlorophyll
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
This dataset contains chlorophyll a data collected by the Aurora Australis on Voyage 6, 1997-1998 - the SAZ (Subantarctic Zone) cruise. Samples were collected in March of 1998.
These data were collected as part of ASAC project 40 (The role of antarctic marine protists in trophodynamics and global change and the impact of UV-B on these organisms).
Quality
These are old data. Some information regarding their collection has undoubtedly been lost.
Care should be taken with the positional accuracy of the dataset, as the latitude values look to be incorrect. Comparing the dates, CTD stations and locations with the data from the other metadata records associated with the SAZ cruise will yield more accurate positional data.
