Surveyed salinity and temperature data for a cyclonic eddy located in KE region

A cyclonic eddy field observation experiment was conducted from June 26 to 30, 2014 with a totally cruising distance of about 1674 km. Expendable conductivity-temperature-depth (XCTD) probes were deployed at 78 temperature and salinity measurement sites along the routes, which were stationed at zonal intervals of 15’ (approximately 28 km) and meridional intervals of 20’ (approximately 37 km). The campaign was settled on 6 zonal routes from south to north, and the routes closest to the eddy center are named S3 and S4. The surveyed salinity and temperature data corresponding to S3 and S4 are provided.

2014年6月26日至30日，科研团队开展了气旋式涡旋场（cyclonic eddy field）观测实验，总巡航航程约1674千米。沿观测航线，团队在78个温盐测量站位部署了抛弃式温盐深剖面仪（Expendable Conductivity-Temperature-Depth, XCTD），各站位的纬向间隔为15′（约28千米），经向间隔为20′（约37千米）。本次观测共设置6条由南至北排布的纬向航线，其中距离涡旋中心最近的两条航线被命名为S3与S4。本数据集提供了对应S3、S4两条航线的实测温盐数据。
