Thwaites-Amundsen Regional Survey and Network (TARSAN) Integrating Atmosphere-Ice-Ocean Processes affecting the Sub-Ice-Shelf Environment

This dataset comprises of hydrographic data from the Thwaites-Amundsen Regional Survey and Network (TARSAN) Integrating Atmosphere-Ice-Ocean Processes affecting the Sub-Ice-Shelf Environment project. CTD and glider data have been collected across a number of RV/IB Nathaniel B Palmer cruises in the Amundsen Sea during austral summer since 2018. The CTD data include conductivity (salinity), temperature and depth alongside auxiliary data including oxygen, fluorescence, transmission and PAR. Seagliders collected CTD, oxygen, fluorescence, PAR and microstructure data. The CTD data support data collected by gliders, ship-based surveys and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The data were collected to help identify how variations in oceanic conditions may influence the behaviour and stability of ice shelves in the region. The data were collected under the NERC grant NE/S006591/1 and in collaboration with the National Science Foundation in the United States.

Title

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services

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.

Statement

This dataset was created by scientists for the joint NERC and NSF project Thwaites-Amundsen Regional Survey and Network Integrating Atmosphere-Ice-Ocean Processes affecting the Sub-Ice-Shelf Environment, NERC Grant NE/S006591/1 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, ingestion into the NODB 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; CTD.
