Southern Ocean GLOBal ocean ECosystems
Description:
As part of the U.S. Southern Ocean GLOBEC program, moored time series measurements of
temperature, conductivity (salinity), pressure, velocity, and acoustic backscatter were made from
March 2001 to March 2003 in and near Marguerite Bay, located on the Antarctic Peninsula western
shelf. To monitor surface forcing during the moored array observations, two automatic weather
stations (AWSs) were deployed on islands in Marguerite Bay and time series of wind, air temperature,
pressure, and relative humidity were collected from May 2001 through March 2003. This
report describes the individual moorings, their locations and local bathymetry, the instrumentation
used and measurement depths, calibration and data processing steps taken to produce final time
series, and basic plots of the final time series. The AWS data acquisition and processing are also
described and basic plots of the final meteorological time series presented. Directions are given
about how to access the raw and processed moored and AWS data via the SO GLOBEC website
(http://globec.whoi.edu/jg/dir/globec/soglobec/).
