        abstract:  This dataset contains chemical, laboratory analyses, site samples, survey, and time series data collected on R/V Melville in the South Pacific Ocean from 2002-01-29 to 2002-02-20. These data were collected by Kenneth O. Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the SOFEX project(s). The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2011-12-30. The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO: Thorium 234, POC and biogenic silica collected from cruises COOK19MV and PS02_2002 from the Southern Ocean, south of New Zealand from January 28, 2002 to February 19, 2002 (SOFeX project). Thorium 234, POC and biogenic silica from the 2002 SOFeX project South Patch experiment dates: 29 January 2002 to 20 February 2002 (20020129-20020220) location: N: -65.25 S: -66.91 W: -172.99 E: -170.60 project/cruise: SOFeX/MV and SOFeX/PS platform: SOFeX multi-ship: R/V Melville and USCGC Polar Star Methodology: Buesseler, et al. 2005 (http://ocb.whoi.edu/SOFeX/PI-NOTES/buesseler_etal_lo502005.pdf) "Particle export during the Southern Ocean Iron Experiment (SOFeX)".
