Equatorial Atlantic hydrographic and seawater sensor data collected during RRS James Cook cruise JC094: dive 240

This data release includes sensor data collected from Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) sensors during a 2013 (October - November) research expedition onboard the RRS James Cook, JC094, in the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean. The JC094 TROPICS cruise was a fieldwork component of a European Research Council funded project, CACH ('Reconstructing abrupt Changes in Chemistry and Circulation of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean: Implications for global Climate and deep-water Habitats') led by Prof. Laura Robinson from the University of Bristol to study paleoclimate archives in the Atlantic. Seventeen ROV dives were carried out. All data have been binned by time.

本数据集发布内容包含2013年10月—11月期间，在赤道大西洋海域搭载英国皇家研究舰“詹姆斯·库克号”（RRS James Cook）执行JC094航次时，由遥控无人潜水器（Remotely Operated Vehicle，ROV）采集的传感器数据。JC094航次“TROPICS”是欧洲研究理事会（European Research Council）资助项目CACH的野外作业组成部分，该项目全称为“重建赤道大西洋海洋化学与环流的突变：对全球气候及深水栖息地的启示”（原英文全称：Reconstructing abrupt Changes in Chemistry and Circulation of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean: Implications for global Climate and deep-water Habitats），由布里斯托大学劳拉·罗宾逊教授牵头，旨在研究大西洋的古气候档案（paleoclimate archives）。本次航次共完成17次ROV下潜作业，所有数据均已按时间分箱处理。
