Raw XBT Expendable Probe Data from the PNG MARGINS Focus Site acquired during the Melville expedition VANC25MV (2004)

This data set was acquired with a Sippican MK21 XBT Expendable Probe during Melville expedition VANC25MV conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Andre Droxler). These data files are of Sippican MK21 Export Data File format and include Temperature data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Late Quaternary Siliciclastic and Carbonate Sediments and Sediment Fluxes on the Slopes and Basin floors of the Ashmore and Pandora Troughs, Gulf of PNG and Paleoclimates of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (PANASH), and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE03-05250, OCE03-05373, and OCE03-05688.

本数据集于2004年开展的梅尔维尔号科考航次VANC25MV中采集获取，使用设备为西皮肯MK21投弃式温深探测仪（Sippican MK21 XBT Expendable Probe），本次航次的首席科学家为安德烈·德罗克斯勒（Andre Droxler）博士。本次数据文件采用西皮肯MK21导出数据文件（Sippican MK21 Export Data File）格式，包含未经处理的温度数据。本数据采集隶属于以下研究项目：晚第四纪硅质碎屑沉积物与碳酸盐沉积物及沉积物通量——巴布亚新几内亚海湾阿什莫尔海槽与潘多拉海槽斜坡及盆地底部沉积，以及南北半球古气候研究（PANASH）；本研究获得美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）的OCE03-05250、OCE03-05373及OCE03-05688项目资助。
