Ocean microstructure profiles were collected using an MSS (Microstructure Sensor Profiler, Sea&Sun Technology, Germany) profiler during the Polarstern PS131 cruise, ATWAICE (28 June – 17 August 2022), from ice floes and from the ship. This dataset includes 1) the raw binary data in the instrument-specific MRD files and 2) the full-resolution time series from each channel converted into physical units with no further data processing applied (NetCDF, NC files). A set of two files (MRD and NC) is supplied per profile. The converted data are prepared following the SCOR Working Group ATOMIX guidelines and convention, corresponding to their Level 1. In total, 196 raw data files (cast004 to 199) are submitted. Casts 1 to 3 were from another profiler which flooded and the data are not useful. Out of 196 profiles, 16 were collected from the ship and 180 from sea ice. Of the 196 profile attempts, 10 were aborted, but all files are delivered for completeness.
