These numbers come from web analytics and reflect real user activity on the site. They reliably show dataset usage and are mostly free of bot traffic.

The short animation was downloaded in March 2007 from the SOFeX project Web site hosted at MBARI. It was originally published as a .avi format file (compatible with Windows Media Player or Real Player software), and has been converted to Flash by the OCB DMO.

The brief animation depicts the ship tracks of all three vessels that participated in the SOFeX sampling cruises during austral summer 2002. The animation begins with the R/V Revelle departing Lyttelton, NZ and heading south toward the SOFeX study area. The R/V Revelle ship track is represented by red dots, the R/V Melville ship track is green, the USCGC Polar Star ship track is blue and the North (N) patch drifter is black. There is no audio track.

The SOFeX project cruise track and sampling area are plotted on a southern polar projection map (view map as JPG image).
