Raw physical oceanography and ocean current velocity data from mooring AWI207-11 in the Weddell Sea, January 2019 – April 2022

DOI

Time-series data of physical oceanography and ocean current velocity were obtained from mooring AWI207-11 in the northern Weddell Sea close to the Antarctic Peninsula between January 2019 and April 2022 as part of the Hybrid Antarctic Float Observing System (HAFOS). The mooring was deployed during RV POLARSTERN expedition PS117, and recovered during PS129. The attached archive contains raw data files of five Seabird SBE37 MicroCATs (nominal depths: 249m, 801m, 2200m, 2410m, 2500m; sampling interval 2h), three Seabird SBE39 temperature recorder (nominal depths: 2210m, 2260m, 2310m; sampling interval 10min), two upward-looking Teledyne RDI 150kHz Quartermaster ADCPs (nominal depths: 292m, 2500m; sampling interval 20-40min), one Nortek Aquadopp current meter (nominal depth: 800m; sampling interval 1h) and one AADI RCM8 current meter (nominal depth: 2203m; sampling interval 2h). The mooring also included a Develogic Sonovault (nominal depth: 300m; raw data not publicly available) for passive acoustic monitoring. Auxiliary information such as sensor calibration sheets, mooring diagrams, and schedule files are also provided, if applicable. Instruments in the upper 300m exhibited bio-fouling.

The file AWI207-11.zip includes all available sensor raw data from mooring AWI207-11. The structure of the unzipped folders is mooring->sensor/sampler type->serial number->instrument files. All instruments were synced to UTC before deployment, and the offset after the recovery is supplied in the respective instrument folder, if available. The archive also contains the sensor calibration sheets/files, relevant sampler schedule files, and additional information if available. Finally, mooring schematics and recovery protocols are also attached as pdfs in the root folder. The authors are grateful to the captains, crews, and technical/scientific staff of the expeditions PS117 and PS129 onboard RV POLARSTERN. Many individuals have contributed to the conception of the research, the preparation of the instruments, the deployments and recoveries, as well as to the retrieval of the data, which we greatly acknowledge.
