This dataset includes discrete profile measurements of temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients and delta He3 collected during the R/V James Clark Ross cruise JR40 Antarctic Large-scale Box Analysis and The Role Of the Scotia Sea (ALBATROS) (EXPOCODE 74JC19990315) in the South Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean and Scotia Sea from 1999-03-15 to 1999-04-23. This cruise (JR40) formed the basis of the ALBATROSS project. It took place on the RRS James Clark Ross, an ice strengthened vessel operated by the British Antarctic Survey. The ship left Port Stanley, Falkland Islands (Malvinas) on 15th March 1999 and returned there on 22nd April 1999. A total of 170 CTDO2 small volume stations were occupied.
