Title of datasetData from Eurofleets+ PORO-CLIM cruise-Part I: XBT data
Narrative summary of datasetThis dataset was produced during the Eurofleets + PORO-CLIM cruise. Project PORO-CLIM was conceived to study interplay between the first-order geological processes of continental rifting and break-up, Large Igneous Province emplacement, and global climate change, and to provide ship-based training for a cohort of international students. Cruise CE21008, the PORO-CLIM data acquisition cruise, carried out a marine geophysical survey of the POrcupine and ROckall continental passive margins, to investigate the cause of the Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum, a natural CLIMate change event that is the closest deep-time analogue of anthropogenic environmental change (though the modern change is happening much faster). Project PORO-CLIM also includes a three year post-cruise data work-up phase. 65 expendable bathytherograph (XBT) probes (T-5, T-11) were deployed to constrain the seismic velocity in the water layer. Sound speed was calculated assuming a constant salinity of 34.9 psu. The €1.2M project is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 EuroFleets+ programme, the PIPCORSG industrial consortium and the Irish Marine Research Programme.
