Water temperature, salinity, pressure taken by CTD attached to marine mammals for the Marine Mammals Exploring the Oceans Pole to Pole (MEOP) project in the Indian, S. Atlantic, and S. Pacific Oceans from 2014-10-20 to 2019-01-23 (NCEI Accession 0300708)

This dataset is a copy of MEOP-SMS Database (submesoscale sampling of the ocean). It contains Water temperature, salinity, pressure taken by CTD attached to marine mammals for the Marine Mammals Exploring the Oceans Pole to Pole (MEOP) project in the Indian, S. Atlantic, and S. Pacific Oceans. The MEOP-SMS database is a collection of CTD data gathered with CTD-SRDLs attached to elephant seals. The CTD-SRDLs were set in continuous recording mode, and could be retrieved, enabling retrieval of the entire CTD archive at the sampling frequency (0.5 Hz) for periods of several months. Instruments were deployed at the Kerguelen Islands and at Peninsula Valdes (Argentina) as part of the SO-MEMO program led by Christophe Guinet (CEBC/CNRS, France). Data are provided in the form of profiles (format ncARGO). A description of the dataset and the post-processing can be found in Siegelman et al., 2019 (see the Documentation).
