Temperature profiles and current measurements from the Nathaniel B. Palmer during the 1997 Dovetail cruise in the Southern Ocean (NCEI Accession 9900243)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: October 04, 2025 | Last Modified: 2013-03-20T00:00:00.000+00:00
This data collection includes temperature profiles from CTD casts and current measurements from hull-mounted ADCP system aboard the research vessel Nathaniel B. Palmer during the austral winter 1997 DOVETAIL cruise. These data have been corrected for vessel motion using the CODAS set of routines that were installed aboard the Palmer system as of the time of the 1997 cruise, and have been broken down into east-west (u) and north-south (v) components in an earth-fixed coordinate system. The data are written as continuous time series that extend throughout the duration of the cruise and therefore contain both full and empty spaces depending upon whether or not valid data were acquired at a given time. Invalid datapoints are indicated in each file by the term 'NaN', consistent with the Matlab files from which the data were extracted. A text version of the cruise report is included in the file about/9900243.rep. An html version of the cruise report is available online at: http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/res/fac/physocean/Dovetail/cruiserep.htm (last accessed on 22 October 2008).
