Multibeam bathymetry processed data (Atlas Hydrosweep DS 3 echo sounder entire dataset) of RV POLARSTERN during cruise PS145/1, Atlantic Ocean

Multibeam data were collected during RV Polarstern cruise PS145/1 (2024-11-25 to 2024-12-07). Multibeam sonar system was Atlas Hydrographic Hydrosweep DS 3 multibeam echo sounder. Data are processed with Caris HIPS, including sound velocity correction with SV data from SVPs, CTDs and World Ocean Atlas 18 (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/NCEI-WOA18), tidal correction with TPXO9_atlas_v5 (https://www.tpxo.net/global/tpxo9-atlas), and manual cleaning. The soundings are combined in daily files, the format is XYZ ASCII (<Lon> <Lat> <Depth in meters, positive up, relative to mean sea level>). Additional grids have been computed with depth dependent cell size to visualize the data. These grids are not meant for scientific analysis or navigation, but for overview purposes only.

Raw data of physical oceanography during RV POLARSTERN cruise PS132

Raw physical oceanography data was acquired by a ship-based Seabird SBE911plus CTD-Rosette system onboard RV POLARSTERN during research cruise PS132. The CTD was equipped with duplicate sensors for temperature (SBE3plus) and conductivity (SBE4). Additional sensors such as an oxygen sensor (SBE43), a WET Labs C-Star transmissometer, a WET Labs ECO-AFL fluorometer (FLRTD) and an altimeter (Teledyne Benthos PSA-916) were mounted to the CTD. During this cruise issues with the ECO-AFL fluorometer and the C-Star transmissometer were faced. Cables and sensors were changed several times but the issue remained. Chlorophyll as well as beam transmission values should be treated with extreme care. The data was recorded using pre-cruise calibration coefficients (possibly wrong coefficients for the ECO-AFL fluorometer and the C-Star transmissometer). No correction, post-cruise calibration or quality control was applied. Text files containing bottle-Data were created using SBEDataProcessing steps "Data Conversion" and "Bottle Summary" without applying any correction.

Multibeam bathymetry raw data (Atlas Hydrosweep DS 3 echo sounder entire dataset) of RV POLARSTERN during cruise PS132

Multibeam data were collected with RV Polarstern along the route of cruise PS132 and data acquisition was continuously monitored during the survey. Multibeam sonar system was Teledyne/Atlas Hydrosweep DS3. SVPs were retrieved from CTD data. SVPs were processed with HydrOffice SoundSpeedManager (https://www.hydroffice.org/soundspeed/main) and extended with World Ocean Atlas 18 (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/NCEI-WOA18). SVP data were applied during acquisition. Multibeam data are unprocessed and may contain outliers and blunders and should not be used for grid calculations and charting projects without further editing. The raw multibeam sonar data in Teledyne/Atlas multibeam processing format (.asd) were recorded with Teledyne/Atlas Parastore software as well as Teledyne Reson format (.s7k) in Teledyne PDS. Raw data files can be processed using software packages like CARIS HIPS/SIPS. For updated vessel configuration files check further details.

Continuous thermosalinograph oceanography along RV POLARSTERN cruise track PS132

Raw data acquired by two SBE21 thermosalinograph and two auxiliary SBE38 temperature sensor (Sea-Bird Scientific, USA) installed in an underway seawater flow-through system on board RV Polarstern were processed to yield a calibrated and validated data set of temperature and salinity along the cruise track. Data were downloaded from DAVIS SHIP data base (https://dship.awi.de) at a resolution of 1 sec, and converted to temperature and conductivity using the pre-deployment factory calibration coefficients. The converted data were averaged to 1 min values, outliers were removed, and sensor drift was corrected using coefficients obtained from a post-season calibration performed at Sea-Bird at the end of the measurement season. Salinity was calculated from internal temperature, conductivity and pressure according to the PSS-78 Practical Salinity Scale. Processed data are provided as 1 min means of seawater temperature, conductivity and salinity, aligned with position data taken from the master track. Quality flags are appended according to the SeaDataNet Data Quality Control Procedures (version from May 2010). More details are described in the attached processing report.

Continuous thermosalinograph oceanography along RV POLARSTERN cruise track PS126

This dataset contains processed ocean temperature and salinity data at a depth of 11m along the cruise track. Raw data acquired by two SBE21 thermosalinographs and two auxiliary SBE38 temperature sensors (Sea-Bird Scientific, USA) installed in an underway seawater flow-through system on board RV Polarstern were processed to yield a calibrated and validated data set of temperature and salinity along the cruise track. Data were downloaded from DAVIS SHIP data base (https://dship.awi.de) at a resolution of 1 sec, and converted to temperature and conductivity using the pre-deployment factory calibration coefficients. The converted data were averaged to 1 min values, outliers were removed, and sensor drift was corrected using coefficients obtained from a post-season calibration performed at Sea-Bird at the end of the measurement season.

Continuous thermosalinograph oceanography along RV POLARSTERN cruise track PS126

Raw data acquired by two thermosalinographs (SBE21, SeaBird GmbH) on board RV POLARSTERN were processed to receive a calibrated and validated data set of temperature and salinity during expedition PS126. Data were downloaded from DAVIS SHIP data base (https://dship.awi.de) with a resolution of 1 sec. Both sensors were equipped with an additional external temperature sensor (SBE38, Sea-Bird GmbH). The raw data are converted to temperature and conductivity values using the calibration coefficients from the calibration before deployment. However, data can only be finally processed after replacement and renewed calibration because correction values for the sensor drift can only be obtained by the post cruise calibration. Thermosalinographs on board RV Polarstern are exchanged about once a year and calibration procedures are conducted after every exchange. Salinity was calculated according to the instructions from the Practical Salinity Scale PSS-78 using the obtained internal temperature and conductivity data. Processing and evaluation of the data is outlined in the data processing report found at EPIC repository https://hdl.handle.net/10013/epic.e9b67f8a-dc1e-4f43-b56d-cfddc20d3c63. Processed data are provided as 10min means of salinity and water temperature aligned with position data taken from master track of the respective cruise.
