| Summary: | Observational data kit gathered and reprocessed to facilitate the evaluation of ocean simulations ofthe Weddell Sea as part of MISOMIP2 . __________________________________________ This entire dataset should be cited as: the MISOMIP2 MIPkit-W dataset( https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.8316180 ) that includes data collected through multiple cruises of the Polarstern Research Vessel and originally provided by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven, Germany. For more specific use of some of the MIPkit-W data, we encourage people to cite the original datareferencedbelow. __________________________________________ Oce3d_MIPkitW_* : 3-dimensional temperature and salinity (horizontal slices every 100m) The hydrographic properties provided on horizontal sections at 15 depths come from the CTD measurements obtained from late December to early March during the Alfred Wegener Institute Polarstern cruises ANT-XII/3 (Schroeder, 2010), PS82 (Schroeder, 2014), PS96 (Schroeder, 2016) and PS111 (Janout, 2019), which cover years 1995, 2014, 2016 and 2018, respectively. __________________________________________ OceSec<n>_MIPkitW_* : vertical sections The first vertical section ( OceSec1 ) goes from the tip of the Antartic Peninsula to Kapp Norvegia (12.33°E). It is known as WOCE-SR04 and has been monitored since 1989. The data provided were collected during Polarstern cruises in Sep.-Oct. 1989, Nov.-Dec. 1990, Dec. 1992-Jan. 1993, Mar.-May 1996, Apr.-May 1998 (Fahrbach and Rohardt, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1996, 1998), Jan.-Apr. 2005 (Rohardt 2010), Feb.-Apr. 2008 (Fahrbach and Rohardt, 2008), Dec. 2010-Jan. 2011 (Rohardt et al. 2011), Dec. 2012-Jan. 2013 (Rohardt 2013), as well as Dec. 2016-Jan. 2017 and Dec. 2018-Feb. 2019 (Rohardt and Boebel, 2017, 2020). The second vertical section ( OceSec2 ) is at approximately 76°S and covers the eastern side of Filchner Through. It was surveyed during some of the Polarstern cruises on 5-8 Jan. 2014 (Schroeder, 2014), 20-24 Jan. 2016 (Schroeder, 2016) and 4-23 Feb. 2018 (Janout, ...
