Oceanographic temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pressure measurements collected using CTD from Nathaniel B. Palmer in the Ross Sea during 2004 (NCEI Accession 0036202)
The primary goal of the AnSlope program is to identify the principal physical processes that govern the transfer of shelf-modified dense water into intermediate and deep layers of the adjacent deep ocean. Also, to understand the compensatory poleward flow of waters from the oceanic regime.
