The biogeochemical dataset was acquired during the SOCLIM cruise to study :

• The Air-Sea exchange by improving the quantification of important climate relevant parameters such as air-sea fluxes of heat, fresh-water and carbon.
• The Carbon sequestration with describing and quantifying the physical and biogeochemical processes driving the sequestration of carbon in the Southern Ocean
• The Bio-optical anomaly while exploring the bio-optical anomaly of Southern Ocean surface waters, which contain less chlorophyll a than their color is actually suggesting
• The Role of Mesoscale by evaluating the role of mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics in driving physical, biogeochimical and biological processes
