Underway Hydrographic, Weather and Ship-state Data (JGOFS) from Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0802 (2008)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system, Navigation system, Meteorological Sensor, Fluorometer, and Thermosalinograph during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0802 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. David Caron). These data files are of JGOFS format and include Salinity, Fluorescence, Meteorological, Bathymetry, Infrared Radiation, Temperature, Conductivity, Navigation, and Visible Radiation data. This data set was created from calibrated data decimated at 1-minute intervals. Several fields are derived measurements from more than a single raw input. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Collaborative Research: Do crustacean zooplankton play a pivotal role in structuring heterotrophic plankton communities. and Ross-Sea outer continental shelf morphology and near-surface stratigraphy: Quaternary ice-sheet grounding-zone migrations and stratigraphy: Quaternary ice-sheet grounding-zone migrations and the LGM dilemma., and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT05-42456.
