Description

Dataset abstract

This dataset presents concentrations of nutrients (µmol/L): nitrous oxide (NOx), nitrate, nitrite, ammonium (NH4), phosphate (PO4) and silicic acid (Si), measured in samples of seawater during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). Samples were collected from CTD and trace metal rosette (TMR) deployments, as well as from the underway water supply on board, then analysed by flow injection following certified standards. This data was collected to support physical, chemical and biological oceanography studies in the Southern Ocean, conducted as part of ACE during the austral summer of 2016/2017.

Notes

The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition was made possible by funding from the Swiss Polar Institute and Ferring Pharmaceuticals. This work was also supported by École Polytecnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Data usage: When data from up to four stations are used, please acknowledge Christel Hassler, Michael Ellwood, Tina Brenneis and the Alfred Wegener Institute where the analysis was performed. When using data from more than four stations, please add co-authorship to Christel Hassler and Michael Ellwood and acknowledge Tina Brenneis from the Alfred Wegener Institute for analysis.
