Davis sea ice Nov. 2016

This data describe a set of sea-ice and seawater physical and biochemical parameters obtained from seawater samples and ice cores drilled from land fast sea ice in the vicinity of Davis Station, East Antarctica at six different dates (stations 1-6) during late Spring 2016. Stations 1: 16 Nov. 2016 Stations 2: 21 Nov. 2016 Stations 3: 23 Nov. 2016 Stations 4: 26 Nov. 2016 Stations 5: 29 Nov. 2016 Stations 6: 02 Dec. 2016 Parameters measured:

  • Temperature, salinity;
  • Iron: Dissolved (less than 0.2um), soluble (less than 0.02um) colloidal (between 0.02 and 0.2um) and Particulate fractions (greater than 0.2um);
  • Macronutrients: Nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), silicate (Si), phosfate (PO4) and ammonium (NH4);
  • Chlorophyll-a (Chla);
  • Particulate Organic Matter: Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) and Particulate Organic Nitrogen (PON)

SW0: seawater collected at the surface SW3: seawater collected at 3m depth SW10: seawater collected at 10m depth
