Description:
Australian Antarctic Division Voyage 6 1997-98 was carried out by the Aurora Australis as cruise AU 06/97. The voyage took place in the Southern Ocean along WOCE SR3 in February April 1998. The principal scientific data from this cruise are held by the Australian Antarctic Division at Kingston, Tasmania.
The SAZ (Sub Antarctic Zone Experiment) project was a comparison of biogeochemical processes in the Subtropical Front and Subantarctic Zone, and the Subantarctic and Polar Frontal Zones along ~ 140E longitude between 40S and 55S latitude. Measurements of primary and new production, phytoplankton pigments, and near-surface particle fluxes were made, giving new insights into the biogeochemistry, carbon transports, controls on primary production and the role of iron and silica on phytoplankton community growth. The SAZ Experiment was organised through the ACE-CRC, CSIRO Division of Marine Research and the Australian Antarctic Division.
