Raw SDS data from the Winter Shakedown Cruise on SA Agulhas II Voyage 003, July 2012

This is raw Scientific Data System (SDS) data from the Winter Shakedown Cruise on SA Agulhas II, Voyage 003, 9 July to 6 August, 2012. The cruise started in Cape Town and went down to the GoodHope Line then up to the Prince Edward Islands, on to Port Elizabeth and then back to Cape Town. After the arrival of SA Agulhas II back to South Africa, an inaugural Southern Ocean cruise was undertaken, which included a multidisciplinary program to measure oceanographic and biological parameters that characterise the state of the Southern Ocean in the region of interest to South Africa, along with the ecosystem properties of the major gyres, frontal systems and shelf and plateau areas. Additionally, land-based research on marine mammals and seabirds was undertaken at South Africa’s Prince Edward Islands (PEIs). The aim of the cruise was to test the research vessels capability and its equipment and to increase our understanding with regard to the influences of oceanographic conditions...

Raw Underway Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (UCTD) data from the Gough Island Relief on SA Agulhas II Voyage 004, September 2012

The Gough Island Relief Voyage is an annual cruise undertaken by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) to change the overwintering team in Gough Island and to replenish the supplies at the British’s leased Gough Island Research base. The cruise also serves as a means to transport the residents and/or visitors to Tristan da Cunha using a signed agreement between South Africa and United Kingdom (UK). This voyage was to deliver the Gough 58 team to the island and return with the Gough 57 team. This is raw Underway Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (UCTD) data from the Gough Island Relief on SA Agulhas II Voyage 004 , 6 September to 11 October, 2012.

Carbonate chemistry time-series from discrete sampling at thirteen sites in Algoa Bay, South Africa, 2018 - 2020

Coastal monthly carbonate chemistry data and other associated physico-chemical parameters from Algoa Bay, on the temperate south coast of South Africa. Eight offshore and five inshore sites were sampled. Temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were measured at each offshore site, and temperature was measured at each inshore site. At each offshore and inshore site, a single sea water sample was collected at the surface for later analysis of pH and total alkalinity (TA) in the laboratory. Remaining parameters of the carbonate system (including pCO2) were calculated in the software program CO2SYS (Lewis and Wallace, 1998) using pH and TA as input parameters. Temperature, salinity, silicate and phosphate concentrations were included in the calculations as supplemental data which may influence carbonate speciation.
