This dataset contains CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) data obtained from the GEOSCIENCE of the Nella Dan, during Jan - Mar 1982. There are six other cruises which also collected oceanographic data, who are primarily involved with conducting a long term field survey on krill and other zooplankton. 7 CTD casts were taken in the Prydz Bay region, as a supplement to the seismic survey. As a result, the CTD locations were not always ideal for oceanographic purposes.
