1-minute averaged meteorological data from R/V Roger Revelle cruise RR2201 in the Indian Ocean during January to March 2022

This dataset describes the 1-minute averaged meteorological data from the R/V Roger Revelle's Indian Ocean cruise RR2201 in February 2022. The data were taken within the Indonesian Throughflow, the Argo-Rowley Terrace Marine Park on a return trip from Darwin, Australia.

This project is a US contribution to the 2nd International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) that advances understanding of biogeochemical and ecological dynamics in the poorly studied eastern Indian Ocean (IO). This is the first detailed study of nitrogen and carbon cycling in the region linking Pacific and IO waters. The end-to-end study approach highlights connections among physical environmental variability, biogeochemistry, and plankton food webs leading to charismatic and economically valuable fish production.
