This float was also programmed to avoid ice but this feature was not necessary over the short period of sampling reported here. The nominal accuracy of the MRV SBE CTD measurements is 0.004 mS/cm, 0.002 C, and 0.25 m, respectively. The float operated for about one month and returned 49 profiles of temperature and salinity roughly every 12 hours with vertical resolution of 1 m. Fortuitously, the float traversed through a warm-core eddy that is described in detail in the referenced paper. Data are in TXT format. These data were collected to investigate the studies funded by NSF OPP-1643679 and OCE-1658479 Funding Agency: National Science Foundation (NSF) completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0240501 Preview graphic PNG 0240501 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2021-08-20 publication HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE SALINITY WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS CTD instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS derived products in situ physical profile theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS RV LAURA BASSI platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Florida State University dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Georgia Institute of Technology dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS South Pacific Ocean Southern Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication Circulation of the Ross Gyre Initiation of the Antarctic Slope Front in West Antarctica project Provider Projects EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN PRESSURE > WATER PRESSURE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE > WATER TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SALINITY/DENSITY > SALINITY theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2026 revision 23 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
