Abstract

This dataset includes oxygen data from 8 Wire Flyer deployments conducted on R/V Atlantis cruise AT42-03 in the Costa Rica Margin from October to November 2018

Data were collected on R/V Atlantis cruise AT42-03 in the Costa Rica Margin from October to November 2018. The GPS data are from the ship's data stream. The data have not been corrected for any time lags. Oxygen data are from an Aanderaa Optode 4831F. See the accompanying sensor manual PDF) for the field details.

The Wire Flyer position was calculated using measurements of the clump weight depth and the wire payout. The layback distance is the Flyer's distance behind the ship. Refer to the Supplemental Files for more information on the Wire Flyer.

Known Problems/Issues:
There is a time lag in the data due to the sensor's foil response. This is noticeable on adjacent profiles, with similar O2 values appearing at different depths. The data can be lag shifted 5-7 seconds to remove most of the offset.
