Unprocessed Alvin Navigation Data from the East Pacific Rise at 9N acquired during Atlantis expedition AT15-14 (2006)

This data set was acquired with a Navigation system on the HOV Alvin during Atlantis expedition AT15-14 conducted in 2006 (Chief Scientist: Dr. James Ledwell). These data files are of Text File (ASCII) format and include Navigation data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Larval Dispersal Along the Deep East Pacific Rise (LADDER-2), Collaborative Research: Oceanographic and Topographic Influences on Dispersal of Hydrothermal Vent Species, Development and colonization processes in Alvinella pompejana, Hydrothermal Vent Meiobenthos, Potential of hydrothermal plumes as a source of dissolved iron (Fe) to the deep ocean and a sink of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), Chemical Characterizations of Vent Habitats, Development, Growth and Cell Kinetic Studies in Riftia Pachyptila, and Preliminary Deployment of Magnetic Collectors for Examination of Vent Particle Dispersal, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE04-24953.

本数据集通过搭载于阿尔文号载人潜水器（HOV Alvin）上的导航系统采集得到，采集工作依托2006年执行的AT15-14号亚特兰蒂斯号（Atlantis）科考航次完成，本次航次的首席科学家为詹姆斯·莱德韦尔（James Ledwell）博士。本数据集包含未经过处理的导航数据，所有数据文件均为文本文件（ASCII，Text File (ASCII)）格式。本次采集所对应的研究项目包括：沿东太平洋海隆的幼体扩散研究（Larval Dispersal Along the Deep East Pacific Rise，缩写LADDER-2）、合作研究项目：海洋学与地形因素对热液喷口（Hydrothermal Vent）物种扩散的影响、阿尔文缨鳃虫（Alvinella pompejana）的发育与定殖过程研究、热液喷口小型底栖生物（Meiobenthos）研究、热液羽流作为深海溶解铁（Fe）源与溶解有机碳（DOC）汇的潜力评估、喷口生境的化学特征表征研究、巨型管栖蠕虫（Riftia pachyptila）的发育、生长与细胞动力学研究，以及用于检测喷口颗粒扩散的磁性收集器初步部署研究。本研究工作由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的OCE04-24953号研究基金资助。
