Near-surface bubble size distributions and co-located upward-pointing sonar data collected in high wind conditions in the North Atlantic, October-November 2013.

The data included in this publication are bubble measurements from the HiWINGS (High Wind Air-sea Gas Exchange Study) cruise from October 9, 2013 to November 14, 2013. An 11 metre long free-floating spar buoy was deployed from the R/V Knorr KN213-3 cruise to sample bubbles during four major storms in the North Atlantic, and all the major bubble data is included here. The buoy included an upward-looking sonar, an acoustical resonator, a bubble camera, and a foam camera. It was released into the water to float freely for the duration of the storm and was retrieved by the ship after the storm had passed.

本数据集包含2013年10月9日至11月14日期间HiWINGS（High Wind Air-sea Gas Exchange Study，强风海气气体交换研究）航次的气泡观测数据。研究团队依托R/V Knorr KN213-3航次部署了一台长11米的自由漂浮立柱式浮标，用于在北大西洋四次强风暴期间采集气泡样本，本次公开的数据集涵盖了全部核心气泡观测数据。该浮标搭载了向上观测声呐、声学谐振器、气泡相机及泡沫相机。浮标被投放至目标海域，在风暴全程自由漂浮，待风暴过境后由科考船回收。
