Description
Summary:As a part of the Nansen Legacy project, ocean microstructure data were collected using an MSS (Microstructure Sensor Profiler, Sea&Sun Technology, Germany) profiler during the Nansen Legacy cruise, GOS2020113 in October 2020. 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. From the vessel, we obtained 207 microstructure profiles. Two casts were aborted and not processed. Here we provide 205 NetCDF (NC) files (one NC file per instrument's native file) compressed in one folder, as well as 2 NC files, one for profiles of CTD and a second one for profiles of dissipation rates, collated for the entire cruise. The converted data are prepared following the SCOR Working Group 160, ATOMIX guidelines and convention (https://wiki.uib.no/atomix). Files per cast: CAST0001.nc to CAST0207.nc (except casts 53 and 102) The NC files per instrument's native file include five groups. 4 levels of microstructure ...
