Description
Summary:This data accompanies a Final Report to the State Department required by our application to conduct research in a foreign Exclusive Economic Zone (Argentina's). In the end, the vehicle did not enter the EEZ but the data submission and report are required, nonetheless. This archive contains data files and descriptive materials connected with a Southern Ocean field experiment conducted from Oct 2019 through Feb 2020 using a Wave Glider autonomous surface vehicle deployed and recovered from US Antarctic Program cruises LMG 19-09 and LMG 20-20. The Wave Glider (SV3-153) conducted an open-ocean survey of the Polar Front and a coastal survey of the shelf break front west of the Antarctic Peninsula, measuring upper ocean, lower atmosphere, and surface wave properties. The .zip file includes data files (.mat), a text (.txt) description of the files and variables, and a report and poster (.pdf) describing the dataset and results.
