See Readme file and calibration document . SeaBird MicroCAT CTD units placed at three depths in the 600 m deep ocean cavity beneath the ice shelf . ongoing recording until batteries fail, expected lifetime is 3-5 years . Moorings approximately 700-1300 m sub-shelf ocean cavity. AM03 borehole drilled December 2005. Data being collected at annual re-visits to site.
