Aurora Australis Southern Ocean oceanographic data from geoscience cruise au9705

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) niskin bottle number
