Underway Hydrographic, Weather and Ship-state Data (JGOFS) from Laurence M. Gould expedition LMG0203 (2002)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Echosounder Sonar, Meteorological Sensor, Fluorometer, Navigation system, and Thermosalinograph during Laurence M. Gould expedition LMG0203 conducted in 2002 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Dan Costa). These data files are of JGOFS format and include Salinity, Bathymetry, Fluorescence, Meteorological, Conductivity, Navigation, Visible Radiation, Temperature, and Infrared 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): SO GLOBEC:Foraging Ecology of Crabeater Seals, SO GLOBEC:Krill Age and Dietary History, SO GLOBEC:Seabird Ecology Using Observations and Diet Samples, SO GLOBEC:Krill Distribution, Physiology, and Predations; Copepod Prey Abundance, SO GLOBEC:Krill Physiology and Fish Ecology, and SO GLOBEC:Mysticete Whale Acoustic Census in the GLOBEC West Antarctic Project Area, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT99-10007, ANT99-10100, and ANT99-81683.
