Description

The alongtrack data from the FS Polarstern (Forschungsschiff, or 'Research Vessel') were recorded by the shipboard data acquisition system (PODAS) and downloaded to a local computer everyday.

Note: Fluorescence measurements were not collected by the PODAS system.
However, alongtrack fluorescence information will be available from the
AWI radiation/fluorescence group (Bettina Schmitt, et al.) after the cruise.
This information was collected from the moon pool.

Other alongtrack information that will be added at a later date are the
Simrad acoustic data and the ADCP data.
