(2022). Macronutrient, temperature and salinity measurements made around the island of South Georgia and the wider Scotia Sea, the Antarctic Peninsula, and in the Bellingshausen Sea between 1980 and 2009 (Version 1.0) [Data set]. NERC EDS UK Polar Data Centre. The dataset comprises macronutrient (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, ammonia/ammonium) data collected on RRS James Clark Ross cruise 17 around South Georgia and the Maurice Ewing Bank in the Southern Ocean. The data were collected using CTD rosette water bottles and the ship's non-toxic seawater supply with an intake depth about 6 - 7 m between 12 December 1996 and 05 January 1997 as part of an integrated ecosystem analysis. They form part of a more extensive dataset collected over 30 years, between 1980 and 2009, by the British Antarctic Survey.

Chemical analyses were undertaken using a custom-built Segmented-Flow Analyser initially based on Chemlab colorimeters and Ismatec proportioning pumps until 1993 when Technicon colorimeters were adopted. Initially, data were logged to paper chart and processed manually but in the mid-1980s, data extraction was automated and processing was managed with a digitising tablet and associated PC. In 1993 as part of a comprehensive re-build, data were logged to a PC. Data acquisition and subsequent processing was achieved with custom-built software (BAS in-house and Cambridge Beacon Ltd) and this was updated further in the mid-1990s when National Instrument data acquisition programmes were used to collect data, and calibration along with data organisation were switched to commercially available spreadsheets. Data collected during transecting were logged along with a time-stamp acquired from the central ship's clock to allow synchronisation with concurrent measurements such as temperature and salinity from the ship's Oceanlogger system.
