Abstract

This dataset includes the GPS 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 winch payout was logged from the winch LCI unit. 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.
