Physical Oceanography Datasets from British Antarctic Survey South Orkney Ecosystems Studies cruise JR15004 (January-February 2016)
This dataset comprises of physical oceanographic parameter measurements and meteorological data collected as part of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) South Orkney Ecosystem Studies project from RRS James Clark Ross cruise JR15004. Data were collected surrounding the South Orkney Islands within the Scotia Sea, and coverage was between 19/01/2016 until 21/02/2016. This dataset contains downcast Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) profiles from 45 stations, and measurements of underway navigation, meteorology and sea surface hydrography through the ship's underway system. Measurements include water temperature, conductivity, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), transmittance, fluorescence and oxygen concentrations, as well as air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, total incidence radiation (TIR), wind speed and direction. The data collected during the cruise were used to examine the factors that determine the distribution of krill and other pelagic organisms across a range of time and space scales. All data were collected by originators at the British Antarctic Survey, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Southwest Fisheries Science Center, and the Institute of Marine Research, Norway.

- Explanation

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 the organisations with the "originator" role in this metadata record following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for either long-term archive and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library, or ingestion into one of the schemas of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB). During ingestion BODC undertake quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data. For an overview, please see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/about/information_technology/data_processing_steps/. BODC supply full information about data collection, data processing and data quality with all data requests to enable users to assess data suitability themselves.Instrument (s) used to collect data: anemometers; salinity sensor; flow meters; Global Navigation Satellite System receivers; water pressure sensors; CTD; transmissometers; water temperature sensor; meteorological packages.
