Metadata details

SIPEX_II_Under_Ice_Photosynthesis

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

    Data were obtained from vertical profiles of a Fast Repetition Rate Fluorometer (FRRF, Chelsea FASTocean). The full set of parameters available are reported here. FRRF data have been integrated with on board ship data to add location, time. Parameters:
