The campaign aimed at resolving the narrow boundary currents of the trough's circulation, as well as extending observational coverage in an under-studied region (i.e. the Bellingshausen Sea). The Seaglider was prepared and piloted by the University of East Anglia (COMPASS), deployed 01 Feb 2020 and recovered 20 Mar 2020 from the RV Nathaniel B Palmer by the California Institute of Technology (TABASCO), who also assisted with piloting. The observations include temperature, conductivity, density, salinity, chlorophyll and backscatter data.

Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. true This dataset was created by scientists at UEA using 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.
