Processed CurrentMeter Data from the Ross Sea near Antarctica acquired during the Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0801 (2008)

This data set was acquired with a CurrentMeter during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0801 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. David Caron; Investigator(s): Dr. Bruce Huber and Dr. Arnold Gordon). These data files are of Matlab Binary format and include Current Measurement, Salinity, and Temperature data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Cape Adare Long-term Mooring (CALM) and Collaborative Research:Do crustacean zooplankton play a pivotal role in structuring heterotrophic plankton communities., and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT05-38148 and ANT05-42456.

本数据集于2008年执行的内森尼尔·B·帕尔默号（Nathaniel B. Palmer）考察航次NBP0801期间，借助海流计（CurrentMeter）采集所得，本次航次的首席科学家为David Caron博士，研究人员包括Bruce Huber博士与Arnold Gordon博士；数据集文件采用Matlab二进制（Matlab Binary）格式存储，包含海流测量、盐度及温度数据，且已在数据采集完成后完成后处理；本数据集的采集工作依托两项课题开展，分别为阿代尔角长期锚定观测（Cape Adare Long-term Mooring, CALM）以及合作研究项目"甲壳类浮游动物是否在异养浮游群落结构构建中发挥关键作用"，并获得美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）编号为ANT05-38148与ANT05-42456的项目资助。
