This dataset contains locations of sampling sites for ASAC project 40 on rotation 4 of the French polar supply ship L'Astrolabe in the 2008/2009 season. Samples were collected between February and March of 2009. It also contains information on chlorophyll, carotenoids, coccolithophorids and species identification and counts.\n\nPublic Summary from the project:\n.\nThis program aims to determine the role of single celled plants, animals, bacteria and viruses in Antarctic waters. We quantify their vital role as food for other organisms, their potential influence in moderating global climate change through absorption of CO2 and production of DMS, and determine their response to effect of climate change.\n\nFor more information, see the other metadata records related to ASAC project 40 (ASAC_40).\n\nThe fields in this dataset are:\n\nTube Label\nDate (UTC)\nTime (UTC)\nLatitude\nLongitude\nSea Temperature\nIce (Presence or Absence)\nCoccolithophorid sample (yes or no)\nPlankton Net Sample\nChlorophyll a (micro grams per litre) GET DATA - Download point for the data files - Excel Spreadsheet
