AESOPS site (Southern Ocean Pacific Sector)

The U.S. JGOFS Antarctic Environment and Southern Ocean Process Study (AESOPS) began field work on August 29, 1996 and ended during April of 1998. The cruises were staged from Lyttleton, New Zealand. The Southern Ocean field program was coordinated by Antarctic Support Associates (ASA).

To get an overview about the data available in the following section, please have a look at the map and the variable/parameter profiles (.pdf document). In order to present properly the results Ocean Data View (Reiner Schlitzer, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research) has been applied.

Data are available as tab-delimited .txt files in ASCII format. If you have comments on that, please let me know (Nicolas Dittert, WDC-MARE).

All ORFOIS related data with respect to AESOPS are continuously updated.
Whenever you use data of the ORFOIS data compilation that refer to the AESOPS data collection, please quote the citations of the following publications:
