Title: WATER TEMPERATURE, water salinity, and others collected from PUERTO DESEADO from 2009-02-17 to 2009-03-12 (NCEI Accession 0164567)
Abstract: This cross-slope survey of the western South Scotia Ridge and nearby Scotia Sea consists of fifty-seven hydrographic stations with the spatial distribution shown in Figure 2. At each of these locations Conductivity/Temperature/Depth (CTD) and Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (LADCP) profiles were taken, together with water samples collected through the full water column for physical/chemical analysis.

The horizontal resolution of the upper layer thermal structure along the longest two CTD sections was highly improved with the aid of data collected from sixty Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) probes launched at intermediate locations.
