Hydrothermal plume detection dataset from Chinese cruises to the equatorial East Pacific Rise. Data in Brief, 33, (2020): 106540, doi:10.1016/j.dib.2020.106540.
Description:
In this data article, a dataset from hydrothermal plume investigations on East Pacific Rise collected during Chinese cruises from 2008 to 2011 is reported. The dataset is related to the research article entitled “Abundance of low-temperature axial venting at the equatorial East Pacific Rise” published in the journal Deep-Sea Research I by Chen et al. (2020). In the dataset, continuous strings of time-series sensor data were obtained by Miniature Autonomous Plume Recorders (MAPR) and an Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) sensor, while the underwater position data was derived using Ultra Short Base Line (USBL) navigation. In this contribution, general characteristics of the data are summarized and showed here. All the data are stored in separate Microsoft Excel spreadsheets that are available for researchers and a link is provided to the full data at http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/jckyj5vyjx.1. The data will be of comparative value to those investigating hydrothermal activities along mid-ocean ridges, worldwide.
Description:
We acknowledge the science parties and crew of Dayang YiHao expedition DY17 in 2005, DY20 in 2008, DY21 in 2009 and DY22 in 2011 for data collection. Fieldwork for this study was funded by National Key Research and Development Program of China (2018YFC0309901), China Ocean Mineral Resources R & D Association (COMRA) Project (DY135-S1-1-01, 02, 09) and Natural Science Foundation of Zhejiang Province (LQ19D060008). SC recognizes financial support from China Scholarship Council which supported her visit to WHOI where the data analysis for this paper occurred (201808330070); CG recognizes financial support from US National Science Foundation grant OCE-1755571 and from WHOI. We are grateful to the contributions made by Guanghai Wu, Yongshun John Chen, Jianyu Ni, Jian Lin, Xin Su, Jianping Zhou and Yuan Wang - both for overseeing the cruises during which the ORP and MAPR sensor data reported here were collected but also for their thoughtful suggestions during those cruises.
