| Summary: | Ocean microstructure measurements were obtained from a Rockland Scientific (RSI) MicroRider attached to an electric Slocum glider. Data were collected during the cruise KB2017618 onboard R.V. Kristine Bonnevie, as a part of the PROVOLO (Watermass transformation processes and vortex dynamics in the Lofoten Basin of the Norwegian Sea) project, funded by the Research Council of Norway (project number 250784). The glider mission started on 6 September 2017 outside of the Lofoten Vortex, a permanent anticyclonic eddy in the Lofoten Basin of the Norwegian Sea. The glider was then navigated into the core of the eddy until the mission ended on 12 September 2017. In addition to the turbulence package, the glider was equipped with an unpumped Seabird conductivity-temperature (CTD) sensor, a Wetlab ECO-puck (fluorescence and turbidity), and an Andreraa oxygen optode. All instruments were configured to sample during dives and climbs of the glider. The dissipation rate was measured using two airfoil shear probes. ... |
