This dataset contains an initial set of curated and processed oceanographic observations collected as part of a joint effort between the EU SO-CHIC project and a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship. It is partly intended to be used as a set of observational constraints for a Weddell Gyre region state estimate, although it can be used for more general analysis purposes as well. It has been used as part of an unsupervised clustering analysis [see Jones (2022) for software and Jones and Zhou (2022) for labelled dataset, see references].
