This dataset of CTD profile casts was collected on the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer, cruise ID NBP1201, in the Antarctic. The cruise took place from December 24, 2011 to February 10, 2012, and was conducted as part of the PRISM-RC project, "Processes Regulating Iron Supply at the Mesoscale - Ross Sea".
Standard station CTD profiles were conducted (down casts) with water sampling conducted during the up casts.
This dataset is comprised of the down cast data from station numbers 1-118, except for stations #2 and #100 in which the down casts failed, and thus the upcast data are included instead. Note the CTD fluorescence and oxygen data have not been adjusted using the bottle data for chlorophyll and oxygen as a calibration in the final CTD data.
Please disregard station #51 primary oxygen profiles - both voltage and ml/L measurements. This was a single cast test comparison, and measurements were taken from another sensor.
