| Summary: | Dataset abstract The ship's cruise track, velocity, course over ground and heading at one-minute resolution for all five legs of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) are derived from a combination of: - the latitude/longitude record of the Quality-checked, one-second cruise track for 21.12.2016 to 11.04.2017. - the latitude/longitude record of the Uncorrected inertial navigation dataset (one-second resolution) for 27.11.2016 to 21.12.2016 - the latitude/longitude record of the raw meteorological data (30-second resolution) from 17.11.2016 to 27.11.2016 - where no latitude/longitude record at one-second resolution is available and the ship's velocity was above 2 meters per second, the three-second resolution record of the true and relative wind speed and direction, as well as the heading are used to re-calculate the ship's velocity under the assumption that the course of the ship equalled the heading. Basic filtering are applied to remove erroneous observations before the data are averaged to a one-minute resolution (DOI:10.5281/zenodo.3752667). The one-minute time series are averaged to five-minute resolution, whereby the vector averaging is used for the platform velocity and orientation. For the latitude and longitude coordinates a simple average is calcualted, i.e., ignoring the curvature of the Earth. Short stretches of missing coordinates are filled with linear interpolation between neighbouring observations.
