Seafloor Mounted Oceanographic Mooring: Continuous Temperature, Salinity, and Current Flow Data at Various Depths, McMurdo Sound, 2021-2023
The oceanographic mooring (-77.891050, 166.258333) provided year-round characterisation of the water column near Cape Armitage.
Depth, Temperature, Salinity, and Density records from the three microcat (SBE37) instruments deployed at nominal depths of:
- 84 mSBL,
- 252 mBSL,
- 452 mBSL.
This collection includes:
- 11 instruments
- Temperature logger (SBE56) x8, 1 year deployment, 1-minute intervals
- x3 microcat (SBE37) units continuously recorded temperature, conductivity, and pressure (CTD) at 2-minute intervals, deployed at nominal depths of (a) 84 mSBL, (b) 252 mBSL, and (c) 452 mBSL.
Data were captured in full resolution, processed in Matlab, and converted to .dat and Matlab formats. Each temperature logger record was assigned a timeseries of depths corresponding to a straight-line linear fit between the measured upper and lower reference points – either pressure records from the SBE37 units, or from the measured seabed for the lower unit.
