Unknown Unknown Integrated into the towed BIo-Optical Multi-frequency Acoustical and Physical Environmental Recorder (BIOMAPER-II) vehicle is an enhanced CTD sensor package. The data reported here are the high resolution observations recorded by the CTD unit along the ships track as processed by the Video Plankton group. The CTD unit was generally deployed and towed between standard stations in an oscillating manner (towyo) over a depth range of 0 to 300m. Observations were make during multiple ship cruises to the Antarctic, Apr-May/Jul-AUG 2001. The general survey area includes: the continental shelf to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of Adelaide Island to the southern portion of Alexander Island, Marguerite Bay, and seaward to depths of 3000 meters. These data to be used in conjunction with Video Plankton Recorder VPR data set. These data have not been post cruise corrected/calibrated and are to be considered as semi-processed.
