Description
Summary:This dataset contains observations of in-situ chlorophyll-a (mg/m3) along the Western Antarctic Peninsula from 2008 to 2018. All data included in this dataset were collected by the Brazillian High Latitude Oceanography Group (GOAL), based at the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG), aboard research vessels from the Brazillian Navy. All chlorophyll-a samples were collected at 5 metres depth. Chlorophyll-a concentration was determined through High Pressure Liquid Chromatography. This dataset has been collected thanks to a 10 year effort of sampling by GOAL in the Western Antarctic Peninsula. As such, many researchers, students, and crew members contributed to this valuable dataset. Therefore, we ask that users acknowledge the use of the dataset. Please consult Ferreira et al. 2024 for more information on how the data was collected and analysed.
