Processed CTD data acquired near-bottom in 2016 from the continental slope of the Canadian Beaufort Sea with MBARI mapping AUV on mission 20160927m1

This processed CTD data set was collected with a SeaBird SBE-49 FastCat system on MBARI Mapping AUV mission 20160927m1 in 2016. The data file is in ASCII format and contains processed conductivity, temperature, pressure, salinity, sound velocity and potential temperature data. The AUV survey mission was conducted during the 2016 CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier IOS cruise 2016-13 in the Beaufort Sea (Cruise Chief Scientist - Humfrey Melling, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada; project PI - Charlie Paull and investigators: Dr. David Caress and Eve Lundsten, MBARI). Data were acquired as part of a collaborative research project between MBARI, the Geological Survey of Canada, and Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada to understand slope stability. Funding for the AUV mapping was provided from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

本数据集为经处理的温盐深（CTD, Conductivity, Temperature, Depth）数据集，于2016年搭载海鸟（SeaBird）SBE-49 FastCat系统，在蒙特雷湾水族馆研究所（Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute，简称MBARI）的20160927m1号测绘自主水下航行器（Autonomous Underwater Vehicle，简称AUV）任务中采集。该数据文件采用ASCII格式，包含经处理的电导率、温度、压力、盐度、声速及位温数据。本次AUV勘测任务依托2016年加拿大海岸警卫队‘威尔弗里德·劳里耶爵士’号（CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier）海洋科学研究所（IOS）科考航次2016-13实施，作业海域为波弗特海（Beaufort Sea）；本次航次首席科学家为加拿大渔业与海洋部的Humfrey Melling，项目负责人为Charlie Paull，研究人员包括MBARI的David Caress博士与Eve Lundsten。本数据集是MBARI、加拿大地质调查局与加拿大渔业与海洋部合作开展的斜坡稳定性研究项目的组成部分，本次AUV测绘项目的资助方为大卫与露西尔·帕卡德基金会（David and Lucile Packard Foundation）。
