Water temperature, salinity, pressure and current velocity from moorings in Andvord Bay and the Gerlache Strait (western Antarctic Peninsula) from 2015-11-27 to 2017-03-05 (NCEI Accession 0175451)

This dataset contains mooring data collected during the FjordEco project, which focused on Andvord Bay, a glacial fjord on the West Antarctic Peninsula. Two moorings were deployed: Mooring A, located in inner Andvord Bay, was operative from 11/29/2015 to 4/14/2016 and 4/17/2015 to 3/5/2017. Mooring B, located in the Gerlache Strait outside Andvord Bay, was operative from 11/27/2015 to 4/4/2016. Current profile time series spanning most of the water column are available from both moorings. Temperature records from point sensors are available below 184 m (Mooring B), below 199 m (Mooring A, first deployment), and below 292 m (Mooring A, second deployment). Salinity and conductivity are available from point sensors on Mooring B. Pressure is available from 2 sensors on Mooring B and 1 sensor on Mooring A. Data are in netCDF format. A more thorough description is included in the supplementary document.

本数据集收录了FjordEco项目期间获取的锚系潜标观测数据，该项目以南极半岛西部的冰川峡湾——安弗德湾（Andvord Bay）为研究区域。本次研究共部署两套锚系潜标：锚系A布设至安弗德湾内湾，有效观测时段为2015年11月29日至2016年4月14日，以及2015年4月17日至2017年3月5日；锚系B布设至安弗德湾外的杰拉许海峡（Gerlache Strait），有效观测时段为2015年11月27日至2016年4月4日。两套锚系潜标均提供了覆盖绝大多数水柱的海流剖面时间序列数据。点位传感器获取的温度数据覆盖范围如下：锚系B可获取184米以深水域的温度记录，锚系A首次部署阶段可获取199米以深水域的温度记录，锚系A第二次部署阶段可获取292米以深水域的温度记录。锚系B的点位传感器可同步采集盐度与电导率数据。压力数据方面，锚系B配备2台压力传感器，锚系A配备1台压力传感器，均可获取相关观测数据。所有数据均采用netCDF格式存储。更详尽的数据集说明可查阅补充文档。
