Abstract:

This data was collected during the GISR G03 cruise aboard R/V Pelican held from 28 November to 20 December 2012. This data set includes data from the shipboard underway system and cruise documentation. The objective of this cruise was to measure the concentration of a chemical tracer released in July-August 2012 on the GISR G02 Cruise.

Purpose:

This is ancillary data that gives additional information about the physical state of the ocean and atmosphere during the cruise.

Data Parameters and Units:

*column 0 = TimeStamp [UTC] *column 1 = Trimble-Longitude [Deg West] *column 2 = Trimble-Latitude [Deg North] *column 3 = Barometric-Pressure, [hPa] *column 4 = Air Temperature [Deg-C] *column 5 = Fluorometer-micro-g-per-l-Value [micro-g/l] *column 6 = Transmissometer-%-Value [%] *column 7 = Relative-Humidity [%] *column 8 = TRUE-WIND-Spd-Speed [Knots] *column 9 = TRUE-WIND-Spd-Direction [Deg-True] *column 10 = Therm-Temperature [Deg-C] *column 11 = Therm-Salinity [PSU]

Methods:

These data are from the Multiple Instrument Data Acquisition System (MIDAS).
