During the 2007/08 season, the Swedish icebreaker Oden worked in Antarctica for the second time. The US research council National Science Foundation chartered Oden from the Swedish Maritime Administration and the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat to break the ice outside the Antarctic station McMurdo by the Ross Sea. Oden left Landskrona 19 October 2007, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and bunkered in South America. The research party embarked in Punta Arenas, Chile, and the ship left for Antarctica on 29 November 2007. 20 days was dedicated to marine science – mainly sampling – on the cruise from South America to the Antarctic. Oden reached McMurdo 7 January 2008 and the expedition participants flew to New Zealand for further travelling home. The icebreaker came back to Sweden in March. The Swedish Polar Research Secretariat was in charge of expedition management, information technology and medical care onboard. This data set contains conductivity, temperature and depth data collected during the American-Swedish expedition Oden Southern Ocean 2007/08, which was an international research cruise using the icebreaker Oden. The expedition embarked from Landskrona, Sweden on October 19 2007 and arrived in McMurdo Januari 8 2008. Data include: water depth, pressure, water temperature, conductivity, salinity, chlorophyll (fluourescence) and dissolved oxygen. Further metadata on instrumentation and the individual variables can be found in the info file. Graphics and files describing the route and positions of CTD casts are included in the package.
Säsongen 2007/08 arbetade den svenska isbrytaren Oden för andra gången i Antarktis. Det amerikanska forskningsrådet National Science Foundation chartrade Oden av Sjöfartsverket och Polarforskningssekretariatet för att bryta en isränna utanför den amerikanska Antarktisstationen McMurdo vid Rosshavet för att möjliggöra båttransporter till stationen. Oden avgick från Landskrona 19 oktober 2007, korsade Atlanten och bunkrade olja i Sydamerika. Forskarna gick ombord i Punta Arenas i Chile, och fartyget gick därifrån 29 november 2007. På överfarten från Sydamerika till Antarktis avsattes 20 dagar för forskning då svenska och amerikanska forskare arbetade ombord med marina forskningsprojekt, främst provtagning. Oden anlände till McMurdo 7 januari 2008 och deltagarna flögs ut därifrån via Nya Zeeland. Isbrytaren var tillbaka i Sverige i mars. Polarforskningssekretariatet stod för expeditionsledning, IT och läkare ombord. Odens ordinarie besättning bemannade isbrytaren.
