The oceanographic dataset collected during the research cruise identified as D223A on board the RRS Discovery

The dataset comprises 57 hydrographic data profiles, collected by a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor package, during September - October 1996. Leg A of the cruise occupied the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Atlantic Area 12 (AR12) with stations in the North East Atlantic specifically the Rockall Trough, Lousy Bank and the Iceland Basin. A complete list of all data parameters are described by the SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary (PDV) keywords assigned in this metadata record. The data were collected by the University of Liverpool Department of Earth Sciences as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE).
