swpb_dwbc_deep_argo_profiles_chandler2024.nc contains the delayed-mode profiles of potential temperature and salinity on a 10-dbar pressure grid from the Deep Argo floats profiling within the deep western boundary current of the Southwest Pacific Basin. [pressure; latitude; longitude; time; wmo_id; theta; salinity]

swpb_dwbc_deep_argo_trajectories_chandler2024.nc contains delayed-mode trajectories from the Deep Argo floats profiling within the deep western boundary current of the Southwest Pacific Basin. [latitude; longitude; u; v; pressure; wmo_id; time]

kt_dwbc_deep_argo_time_series_chandler2024.nc contains the 2021--2022 monthly time series of dynamic height, salinity, and potential temperature between 2000--4000-dbar computed from the spatially-averaged Deep Argo profiles within the deep western boundary current as it travels along the western side of the Kermadec Trench. [time; pressure; theta; salinity; dh; region_long; region_lat]

kt_dwbc_deep_argo_seasonal_cycles_chandler2024.nc contains seasonal cycles of dynamic height, salinity, and potential temperature (including the decomposition into heave/spice) between 2000--4000-dbar from the Deep Argo profiles within the deep western boundary current as it travels along the western side of the Kermadec Trench. [pressure; theta; theta_heave; theta_spice; salinity; dh; region_long; region_lat]
