Description

Temperature and salinity profiles of sea ice cores extracted from in situ sea ice floes and lifted pancakes were measured in the Atlantic sector of the Antarctic Marginal Ice Zone during the Southern oCean seAsonal Experiment (SCALE) winter cruise in 2019 (www.scale.org.za) aboard the SA Agulhas II.
