Seaglider data from the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica, November 2022-January 2023
This dataset includes measurements made by pressure, temperature, conductivity, backscatter, oxygen, photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) and chlorophyll fluorescence sensors attached to two Seagliders deployed in the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica (-77.420 degrees S and 176.139 degrees E). The gliders produced profiles roughly every 2 hours from the sea surface to the seabed (about 800 m depth) and all observations are un-gridded timeseries. Seaglider 676 (sg676) was deployed on 28 November 2022 and Seaglider 613 (sg613) was deployed on 04 December 2022, both from the fast ice. Both Seagliders were recovered on 18 January 2023 by the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer (Cruise number NBP23-02). Each glider dataset was processed using the UEA Seaglider toolbox (available at: http://bitbucket.org/bastienqueste/uea-seaglider-toolbox). The campaign was designed to provide the biophysical conditions to link with the Adelie penguin preyscape. The campaign also sampled the extensive eddy field in the region, and obtained observational data in a key region of very high biological productivity (i.e. the Ross Sea polynya). The Discovery Science project is funded by the Natural Environmental Research Council, UK (NERC) and the National Science Foundation, USA (NSF) (grant reference NE/W00755X/1).

BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

This dataset was created by scientists for the NERC Discovery Science project titled 'Seaglider data from the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica, November 2022-January 2023' with grant reference NE/W00755X/1 following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for long-term archive and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library. No data quality or data processing procedures were applied by BODC to these data.Instrument(s) used to collect data: data loggers.
