Conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) data from Rothera Point, Antarctica, November 2023 to February 2024

This dataset comprises conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) casts which were deployed around Rothera Point, Adelaide Island on the West Antarctic Peninsula between November 2023 and February 2024. Data were captured as part of a biodiversity survey on an area to the north of Rothera Research station. Operations were conducted off small boats and casts sampled shallow waters between 10m and 60m in depth. Data comprises parameters such as pressure, salinity, density, turbidity and more in addition to conductivity, temperature and depth.

Data were collected by personnel at BAS, funded by the Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Project (AIMP) Runway Project.
