Full scale acceleration measurements during POLARSTERN cruise PS100

This data set contains full scale vibration measurements conducted during the PS100 research expedition on the research vessel Polarstern to the Arctic in 2016. Twenty three accelerometers were recorded continiously throughouth the 51 day voyage. The data set includes environmental data and measurement geometry. A wide variety of operational and environmental conditions were encountered during the voyage. These include different cruising speeds, swell heights, swell directions and swell periods, ice types and ice breaking manoeuvres, water and air temperature variations as well as different vessel parameters such as draft, trim and engine configurations. It is hoped that opening the data to other researchers has the potential to bring a diversity of new ideas to drive innovation in marine dynamics.
