Description
Summary:Ocean microstructure measurements were obtained from a Rockland Scientific (RSI) MicroRider attached to an electric Slocum glider. The glider was operated across the Barents Sea Polar Front, during the Nansen Legacy cruise, KB2022625, in October 2022. The glider mission started on 2 October 2022 and ended on 9 October 2022. In addition to the turbulence package, the glider was equipped with a pumped Seabird conductivity-temperature (CTD) sensor. Both the CTD and the MR were configured to sample during dives and climbs of the glider. The dissipation rate was measured using two airfoil shear probes. Turbulence channels sampled at a rate of 512 per second, and the slow channels at 64 per second. The dataset has been processed and formatted in accordance with the SCOR Working Group ATOMIX guidelines and recommendations. One NetCDF (NC) file per instrument's native file is provided (typically one file between consecutive surfacings of the glider, 191 files in total). Each provided NC file is organized in four ...
