Metadata: JC066 cruise underway dataset, November to December 2011
Abstract:
This dataset consists of measurements of underway meteorology, navigation and sea surface hydrography. A comprehensive survey of the Southwest Indian Ocean, more specifically, the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR), was undertaken between 07 November 2011 and 21 December 2011 on the RRS James Cook cruise JC066. Navigation data were collected using an Applanix POSMV system and meteorology and sea surface hydrography were collected using the NMF Surfmet system. Both systems were run for the duration of the cruise, excepting times for cleaning, entering and leaving port, and while alongside. Data were collected as part of the NERC-funded project “Benthic Diversity of seamounts in the Southwest Indian Ocean”. The project aimed to describe and analyse the diversity and distribution of benthic assemblages, from meiofauna to megafauna, on seamounts in the central section of the SWIR between 41S, 42E and 33S, 58E. The NERC funded project was funded primarily by grant NE/F00504/1, with child grants NE/F006292/1 and NE/F005563/1. The lead grant is held at the University of Oxford, Department of Zoology, by Professor Alex David Rogers. The child grants are held at the natural History Museum, Life Sciences, by Dr Gordon Patterson, and the Scottish Asssociation for Marine Science, Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory, by Dr Bhavani Narayanaswamy, respectively. Underway navigation, meteorology and sea surface hydrography data have been received as raw files by BODC and are available upon request.

| 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. | JC066 cruise underway dataset, November to December 2011 |
| 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 1048SWIR_benthic_diversity |
| 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. | 5a6779dba7fc5676a7e8c0c1e04d76e6 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | EDMED6756 |
| 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 | 2011-11-07 |

| 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 'Benthic Diversity of seamounts in the Southwest Indian Ocean' project, which ran from 2011 to 2015, following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for ingestion into one of the schemas of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB). During ingestion BODC undertake quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data. For an overview please see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/about/informationtechnology/dataprocessing_steps/. BODC supply full information about data collection, data processing and data quality with all data requests to enable users to assess data suitability themselves. Instrument(s) used to collect data: anemometers; meteorological packages; fluorometers; thermosalinographs; single-beam echosounders; multi-beam echosounders; salinity sensor; Differential Global Positioning System receivers; transmissometers; water temperature sensor. |
