This dataset is a hydrographic and atmospheric survey collected by sensors mounted on the Uncrewed Surface Vehicle Saildrone 1023 (SD1023) during the Circumnavigation of Antarctica in 2019. This Saildrone was deployed among two others (SD1020, SD1022) from southern New Zealand in austral fall 2019. These data include atmospheric measurements of barometric pressure, air temperature, PAR, wind speed and gust at height of 3.6m and 3.8m, respectively. These data include hydrographic measurements of sea surface temperature, relative humidity, sea water salinity, oxygen concentration in sea water and Chlorophyll concentration at depth of 0.5m.
