PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes profile discrete measurements of temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, dissolved inorganic carbon and other measurements obtained during the RSV Aurora Australis cruise 09AR9407_1 along the WOCE Repeat Hydrography Section SR03 (EXPOCODE 09AR19940101) in the Southern Ocean from 1994-01-01 to 1994-03-01. Oceanographic measurements were conducted in January 1994 along WOCE Southern Ocean meridional section SR3 between Tasmania and Antarctica, and along a northward section lying between 82 and 86 deg E and crossing the Princess Elizabeth Trough.
