Raw XBT Expendable Probe Data from the PNG MARGINS Focus Site acquired during the Melville expedition VANC26MV (2004)

This data set was acquired with a Sippican MK21 XBT Expendable Probe during Melville expedition VANC26MV conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Larry Peterson). These data files are of Sippican MK21 Export Data File format and include Temperature data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Late Quaternary Siliciclastic and Carbonate Sediments and Sediment Fluxes on the Slopes and Basin floors of the Ashmore and Pandora Troughs, Gulf of PNG and Paleoclimates of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (PANASH), and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE03-05250, OCE03-05373, and OCE03-05688.

本数据集于2004年实施的梅尔维尔号科考航次VANC26MV期间，通过西皮卡恩MK21型抛弃式测温探头（Sippican MK21 XBT Expendable Probe）采集获取，本次航次首席科学家为拉里·彼得森（Larry Peterson）博士。本次数据文件采用西皮卡恩MK21型导出数据文件格式，包含未经处理的温度观测数据。本数据采集隶属于以下研究项目：巴布亚新几内亚湾阿什莫尔与潘多拉海槽斜坡及盆地平原的晚第四纪陆源碎屑与碳酸盐沉积物及沉积物通量研究，以及南北半球古气候研究（PANASH）；本研究获得美国国家科学基金会（NSF）资助，资助项目编号依次为OCE03-05250、OCE03-05373及OCE03-05688。
