Abstract

This dataset includes CTD data from 12 Wire Flyer deployments conducted on R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific from January to February 2017.

Data were collected on R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific during January and February 2017. These data are reported directly from the sensor or were calculated using the seawater toolbox. The data have not been corrected for any time lags. Temperature, salinity, and depth are from a Seabird 49 Fast-CAT CTD.

These data have not been processed to any significant extent. The latitude and longitude positions reported are for the Wire Flyer vehicle, and not the ship. This position was calculated using measurements of the clump weight depth and the wire payout. Refer to the Supplemental Files for more information on the Wire Flyer.
