Metadata: Seaglider data from the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica, November 2022-January 2023
Abstract:
This dataset includes measurements made by pressure, temperature, conductivity, backscatter, oxygen, photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) and chlorophyll fluorescence sensors attached to two Seagliders deployed in the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica (-77.420 degrees S and 176.139 degrees E). The gliders produced profiles roughly every 2 hours from the sea surface to the seabed (about 800 m depth) and all observations are un-gridded timeseries. Seaglider 676 (sg676) was deployed on 28 November 2022 and Seaglider 613 (sg613) was deployed on 04 December 2022, both from the fast ice. Both Seagliders were recovered on 18 January 2023 by the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer (Cruise number NBP23-02). Each glider dataset was processed using the UEA Seaglider toolbox (available at: http://bitbucket.org/bastienqueste/uea-seaglider-toolbox). The campaign was designed to provide the biophysical conditions to link with the Adelie penguin preyscape. The campaign also sampled the extensive eddy field in the region, and obtained observational data in a key region of very high biological productivity (i.e. the Ross Sea polynya). The Discovery Science project is funded by the Natural Environmental Research Council, UK (NERC) and the National Science Foundation, USA (NSF) (grant reference NE/W00755X/1).

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 7539 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Seaglider data from the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica, November 2022-January 2023 |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | British Oceanographic Data Centre record 1048_NE_W00755X_1 |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 1bfd746662c154848769aebedab87522 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | EDMED7332 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2022-11-28 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset was created by scientists for the NERC Discovery Science project titled 'Seaglider data from the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica, November 2022-January 2023' with grant reference NE/W00755X/1 following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for long-term archive and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library. No data quality or data processing procedures were applied by BODC to these data.Instrument(s) used to collect data: data loggers. |
