Description

Dataset abstract

This dataset contains phytoplankton pigment concentrations sampled during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) Leg 1-3 and analysed using high performance liquid chromatography. Water samples were collected from the underway seawater supply every 3 hours and at multiple depths from select CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) rosette deployments. Pigment concentrations have been quality controlled. This circumpolar dataset contains the main pigment concentrations of phytoplankton and can be used to infer phytoplankton biomass and class composition.

Dataset contents

Notes

The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition was made possible by funding from the Swiss Polar Institute and Ferring Pharmaceuticals. This research was partially supported by the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council's Discovery Projects funding scheme (project DP DP160103387). The analysis of pigments was performed by Céline Dimier from the SAPIGH (Service d'Analyses de Pigments par HPLC) analytical platform of the Insitut de la Mer de Villefranche (CNRS and Sorbonne Université).
