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).
Pulse Amplitude Modulation (WaterPAM, Walz) was used to measure the response of the sea ice brine microalgae to CO2 stress. All data was reported in WinControl software and follows standard formats. Three incubation experiments were carried out at SIPEX stations 4 (expt 1) 7 (expt 3) and 8 (expt 4).
File nomenclature
TO: time zero
TR1,2,3 refers to times 2,3 and 4 respectively
In expt 4 the coding refers to hours since beginning of experiment
Each file contains data in the same columns: Important results include
Column E: F
Column F: Fm
Column G: Fv/Fm
Column H: rETR
