Water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and other measurements collected from profile and discrete sample observations during the R/V Discovery GO-SHIP sections A23, SR1b cruise DY113 (EXPOCODE 74EQ20200203) in the South Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean from 2020-02-03 to 2020-03-13 (NCEI Accession 0308011)

This dataset includes discrete profile measurements of water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and other measurements collected from profile and discrete sample observations during the R/V Discovery GO-SHIP sections A23, SR1b cruise DY113 (EXPOCODE 74EQ20200203) in the South Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean from 2020-02-03 to 2020-03-13. Cruise DY113 comprised occupations of two repeat hydrographic sections, SR1b across Drake Passage from Burdwood Bank to Elephant Island, and A23 from the northern Weddell Sea across the Scotia Sea to South Georgia. Ocean physical measurements are made on these two sections annually funded by NERC as National Capability, currently through the ORCHESTRA (Ocean Regulation of Climate by Heat and Carbon Sequestration and Transports) programme, in order to monitor and understand variability of Antarctic Circumpolar Current transports and Antarctic Bottom Water properties and volumes.
