This data set was acquired with a ship-based Fluorometer, Echosounder Sonar, Meteorological Sensor, Navigation system, and Thermosalinograph during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0805 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Ian Dalziel). These data files are of JGOFS format and include Navigation, Salinity, Conductivity, Fluorescence, Meteorological, Infrared Radiation, Temperature, Bathymetry, and Visible Radiation data. This data set was created from calibrated data decimated at 1-minute intervals. Several fields are derived measurements from more than a single raw input. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Central Scotia Sea floor and the Drake Passage deep ocean current gateway and Glacial radiocarbon contstraints from Drake Passage deep-sea corals, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT06-36787 and ANT06-36850.
