Processed LADCP Sonar Data (ASCII format) from the East Pacific Rise at 9N acquired during Atlantis expedition AT15-14 (2006)

This data set was acquired with a LADCP Sonar during Atlantis expedition AT15-14 conducted in 2006 (Chief Scientist: Dr. James Ledwell; Investigator(s): Dr. James Ledwell and Dr. Andreas Thurnherr). These data files are of Text File (ASCII) format and include Current Measurement data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Larval Dispersal Along the Deep East Pacific Rise (LADDER-2), Collaborative Research: Oceanographic and Topographic Influences on Dispersal of Hydrothermal Vent Species, Development and colonization processes in Alvinella pompejana, Hydrothermal Vent Meiobenthos, Potential of hydrothermal plumes as a source of dissolved iron (Fe) to the deep ocean and a sink of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), Chemical Characterizations\r
of Vent Habitats, Development, Growth and Cell Kinetic Studies in Riftia Pachyptila, and Preliminary Deployment of Magnetic Collectors for Examination of Vent Particle Dispersal, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE04-24953.

本数据集采集于2006年执行的AT15-14号“亚特兰蒂斯号”（Atlantis）考察航次，采用LADCP声纳（LADCP Sonar）完成数据采集，本次航次首席科学家为詹姆斯·莱德韦尔（James Ledwell）博士，研究人员包括詹姆斯·莱德韦尔博士与安德烈亚斯·特恩赫尔（Andreas Thurnherr）博士。本数据集包含ASCII格式文本文件格式的流速测量数据，所有数据均在野外采集完成后进行了处理。本数据集的采集工作隶属于以下多项研究项目：东太平洋海隆深层幼虫扩散研究（Larval Dispersal Along the Deep East Pacific Rise，简称LADDER-2）、合作研究项目“海洋学与地形对热液喷口物种扩散的影响”、庞贝蠕虫（Alvinella pompejana）的发育与定殖过程、热液喷口小型底栖生物研究、热液羽流作为深海溶解铁（Fe）源与溶解有机碳（DOC）汇的潜力研究、喷口生境化学特征分析、巨管蠕虫（Riftia pachyptila）的发育、生长与细胞动力学研究，以及用于考察喷口颗粒物扩散的磁性收集器初步部署研究；本研究工作由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的OCE04-24953号拨款资助。
