List of the variables and units for the surface sampling and vertical station data obtained during the US-USSR Weddell Polynya Expedition (WEPOLEX-81).
WEPOLEX-81 started on October 9, 1981 and ended on November 25, 1981. Data are from surface samples collected along the cruise tract and from twenty-four vertical stations.
