Cruise Inventory Information

Cruise Inventory Datasets
| Physical oceanography | |
|---|---|
| Current profiler (eg ADCP) |
Quantity:
track kilometres =
203
Description: Along-track data collected by AUV operating between 0 and 950 m below the surface, mostly beneath permanent ice cover. Pressure, temperature and conductivity recorded by two CTD systems (Seabird SBE-52 and Idronaut OceanSeven 304), currents above and below the vehicle recorded by two RDI 300 kHz ADCPs, optical backscatter recorded by Wetlabs ECO-FLNTU fluorometer/scatterometer, and mircrostructure recorded by RSI MicroRider. |
| Other physical oceanographic measurements |
