Processed ship-based Navigation Data acquired during the Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0204 (2002)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Navigation system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0204 conducted in 2002 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Peter Wiebe; Investigator(s): Dr. Robert Beardsley). These data files are of MGDS:Nav format and include Primary Navigation data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): SO GLOBEC: Krill Physiology and Fish Ecology, SO GLOBEC: Water-column nutrient analysis, SO GLOBEC: Zooplankton distribution, abundance in the water column and sea-ice/water column boundary, SO GLOBEC: Krill distributions, physiology and predation; Copepod Prey Abundance, SO GLOBEC: Seabird distribution and abundance, SO GLOBEC: Krill distribution, physiology, and predations; Copepod prey abundance, SO GLOBEC: Mesoscale Circulation, Tides, and Mixing, SO GLOBEC: Water-column phytoplankton primary productivity, SO GLOBEC: Hydrographic modeling, both biological and physical, SO GLOBEC: Winter distribution and activities of sea-ice microbial communities in the western Antarctic peninsula, and SO GLOBEC: Circulation and Water Property Evolution, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OPP01-96489, OPP99-10096, ANT99-10098, ANT99-10100, OPP99-10102, OPP99-10175, OPP99-10263, and OPP99-11731.

本数据集由船载导航系统采集自2002年开展的内森尼尔·B·帕尔默（Nathaniel B. Palmer）号考察航次NBP0204，本次航次首席科学家为彼得·威贝（Peter Wiebe）博士，研究员为罗伯特·比尔兹利（Robert Beardsley）博士。本数据集包含MGDS:Nav格式的原始导航数据，所有数据均在采集完成后进行了处理。本次数据采集隶属于以下多项研究项目：SO GLOBEC（南大洋全球海洋生态系统动力学计划）相关课题，包括磷虾生理学与鱼类生态学、水柱营养盐分析、浮游动物在水柱及海冰-水界面的分布与丰度、磷虾分布、生理学与捕食行为、桡足类猎物丰度、海鸟分布与丰度、中尺度环流、潮汐与混合、水柱浮游植物初级生产力、生物与物理海洋学建模、南极半岛西部海冰微生物群落的冬季分布与活动，以及环流与水团演化。本研究得到美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的多项基金资助，资助编号分别为OPP01-96489、OPP99-10096、ANT99-10098、ANT99-10100、OPP99-10102、OPP99-10175、OPP99-10263及OPP99-11731。
