Description
Summary: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. Dataset contents ace_INSTRUMENT_YYYY-MM-DD.csv – daily files for each instrument that were output from the database, data file, comma-separated values ace_INSTRUMENT_concatenated_YYYY-MM.csv – input files concatenated by month and instrument, data file, comma-separated values flagging_data_ace_INSTRUMENT_YYYY-MM-DD.csv – daily output files for each instrument with flagged data points, data file, comma-separated values track_data_combined_overall_flags_YYYY-MM.csv – instrument data combined with overall data flag for each month, data file, comma-separated values track_data_prioritised_YYYY-MM.csv – prioritised data files with overall data flag for each month, data file, comma-separated values ace_INSTRUMENT_manual_position_errors.csv – files containing the manually-observed errors, metadata, comma-separated values in_port.csv - dates on when the ship was stationary in port, metadata, comma-separated values README.txt – metadata, text file data_file_header.txt – metadata, text file Dataset license This dataset containing intermediate ...
