SeaSoar CTD Sections in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean Collected during RRS Discovery Cruise 132

摘要

Frontal CTD structures in an area of the Atlantic Ocean considered for radioactive waste disposal were surveyed. The data set consists of 1 sec averages of time, pressure, temperature, salinity, potential temperature, oxygen, Chlorophyll a, sigmatheta, latitude, longitude, and distance run along the SeaSoar track. Speed through the water is 4 m/sec, so that individual points are 4 m apart horizontally, and 1 m apart vertically. Down and up traces are used in all plots and there is a profile (down or up) every 1.5 km. The 1 sec data were averaged over 7.5 dbar pressure intervals to reduce the number of points plotted and accommodate the maximum number of points contourable in a computer run.
