Dataset abstract The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE), undertaken in the austral summer of 2016/2017 recorded the cruise track using two independent geo-location instruments: one using GLobal NAvigation Satellite Systems (GLONASS; hereafter referred to as GLONASS) and another primarily using the Global Positioning System (GPS; hereafter referred to as the Trimble GPS). Daily log files were recorded in real-time from both instruments during the expedition and added to MySQL database tables. Following the expedition, quality-checking work has been undertaken to provide a one-second resolution set of positions for the cruise track. This dataset presents the intermediate files that were produced during the quality-checking, therefore it could be used to check the processing steps that have been undertaken, but should not be used as a final source of the cruise track data. Both the original raw data files and final quality-checked cruise track can be found in related datasets.
