Description
Summary:These data are part of the NSF project "Collaborative Research: Biogeochemical and Physical Conditioning of Sub-Antarctic Mode Water in the Southern Ocean." Specifically, these are the discrete bottle data from cruise TN376 aboard R/V Thomas G. Thompson, which sailed from Cape Town, South Africa (22 January 2020) to the Southern Ocean and returned to Mauritius (3 March 2020). The purpose of the project was to define the processes that condition SubAntarctic Mode Water formed at the SubAntarctic Front in the Southern Ocean. The cruise track took us southeast from Cape Town for our first shakedown station at 38°35'S x 024°E, a station which was ultimately canceled due to heavy weather conditions. Two days out of Cape Town, the coupler between the ship's number three main engine and generator broke. This meant the ship only had one main engine, with an associated generator, plus two smaller engines/generators for all power needs. With the loss in redundancy, this meant we had to cut our cruise ...
