Title of dataset | Selected data from the glider missions in Eastern Mediterranean performed in 2023 |
Narrative summary of dataset | The datasets contains selected data from the underwater glider missions in Eastern Mediterranean performed in April-May and in August 2023 by Institute of Marine Sciences, Middle East Technical University (METU-IMS). The glider was donated to METU-IMS by Is Bankasi - the national commercial bank in Turkey. The underwater glider SeaExplorer X2 of ALSEAMAR is equipped with the following instruments: 1) RBRlegato³ C.T.D (non-pumped flow) with temperature, conductivity and pressure sensors; 2) JFE Advantech Co. Rinko Fast Optical DO sensor; 3) Wet Labs ECO Puck (fluorescence and turbidity); 4) Sea-Bird Scientific Deep SUNA Ocean Nitrate Sensor; 5) Altimeter. The research area is between mainland and Cyprus bounded by a rectangle with coordinates 35.52°-36.1°N, 33.2°-33.5°E. The first mission with internal number 16 was carried out in period April, 26 – May, 16, 2023, the second mission with internal number 20 was carried out in period August, 2 – August, 27, 2023. The first and last transects from each mission are included in the dataset. The dataset is submitted as zip-archive containing 110 .gz files. Each .gz file contains instrument output acquired within one glider dive cycle. |
