Mawson Temperature and Salinity Data

This dataset contains temperature and salinity data from CTD observations at Mawson, Antarctica. Profiles to 370m were attempted on an approximately monthly basis between October 1980 and October 1982. A representative value for each month of the year has been obtained during this 2 year period.


The fields in this dataset are:


observation_date (the date of observation, in ISO8601 format yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SSZ. This information is also separated into the year, month, day, etc components)

observation_date_year (the year of the observation date)

observation_date_month (the month of the observation date)

observation_date_day (the day of the observation date)

depth (the depth at which measurements were made in m)

temperature (the measured water temperature in degrees C)

salinity (the measured salinity in ppt)

sigma_t (kgm^-3)
