| Summary: | Ocean microstructure measurements were obtained from a Rockland Scientific (RSI) MicroRider (MR) attached to an electric Slocum glider. The goal was to conduct ocean mixing and water transformation process studies in the Barents Sea Polar Front region east of Svalbard, in the northern Barents Sea. The glider was deployed on 8 October 2020 at 22:00 UTC and retrieved on the morning of 24 October. The MR stopped sampling on 15 October. During the mission, we obtained 130 files with data between consecutive surfacing of the glider, excluding files opened before deployment and after recovery of the glider and those when the test dives were made. Each of the 130 processed files is supplied as a NetCDF (NC) file with hierarchical groups. In total, there are 263 sections. A section (a more general term for a profile) is a continuous segment of the time series with dissipation estimates. One file can have multiple sections, for example, from the dive and climb parts of the time series. The converted data are prepared ... |
