Processed Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) and Total Alkalinity (TA) data from Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) on the Algoa Voyage 242, August 2017

This is processed Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) and Total Alkalinity (TA) data from the Integrated Ecosystem Programme cruise in the Southern Benguela (IEP-SB).The cruise took place from 24 to 30 August 2017 aboard the RV Algoa. A total of 29 stations were occupied along four transect lines on the west coast of South Africa and additional stations where a red tide was crossed. Seven Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) stations were occupied along the Kleinsee Monitoring Line (KML) of Kleinsee, eight along the Namaqua Monitoring Line (NML) of Namaqua, nine stations along the St Helena Bay Monitoring Line (SHBML), and five stations along the Scarborough Monitoring Line (SCL) of Cape Columbine. Discrete water samples were collected in 500ml Certified Reference Materials (CRM) bottles from Niskin bottles and spiked with 0,02% of Mercuric chloride before being stored in the dark at room temperature for later analysis in the laboratory ashore using a Versatile INstrument for the...

Processed underway Thermosalinograph (TSG) observations from the Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) on Algoa Voyage 242, August 2017

Here we present the 6-second resolution processed Thermosalinograph (TSG) data collected between 24 August and 30 August 2017 during the Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) on the RS Algoa Voyage 242. A SeaBird SBE45 TSG is used to opportunistically collect underway near-surface temperature and conductivity measurements during research and monitoring cruises. Water is continuously pumped to the TSG from an intake located in the hull of the vessel, and the observations are continuously interfaced with navigational information. A temperature sensor close to the intake provides temperature measurements of the incoming water (T1). The temperature of the water inside the conductivity cell (T2) is used to accurately compute salinity (S) from the conductivity measurements (C).

Analysed Nutrient data from the Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) cruise on the Algoa Voyage 242, August 2017

Nutrient data for the Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP: SB): Aug 2017 from all stations. IEP:SB focuses on the biologically productive, cold waters of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem, which are inherently variable on short time-scales and responsive to changing weather patterns. The research aims to provide relevant, reliable and improved assessment of the ecosystem, in support of its effective management, preservation and conservation, so that South Africans can benefit from a healthy and well-functioning ocean environment. The overarching objective is to enhance understanding in process studies by assessing the importance, timing and magnitude of mechanisms and processes that influence the Southern Benguela ecosystem structure and functioning, including the climate variability.
