    • Water temperature, hydrostatic pressure, and light taken by TDR (time-depth recorder) attached to marine mammals for the Marine Mammals Exploring the Oceans Pole to Pole (MEOP) project in the Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean from 2008-10-17 to 2016-01-17 (NCEI Accession 0299108)

    Metadata Updated: November 1, 2025

    This dataset contains temperature and light CTD data from the Marine Mammals Exploring the Ocean Pole to Pole (MEOP) program taken TDR (time-depth recorder) deployed on elephant seals in Kerguelen Island area from 2008-10-17 to 2016-01-17. The Oceanographic data collected by Antarctic seals (Southern Elephant and Weddell seals mainly) are collected as part of the SO-MEMO (Observing System - Mammals as samplers of the Ocean Environment, PI. C. Guinet, CEBC-CNRS-ULR). Data were collected in combination with geo-positioning measurements. The loggers, either TDR-MK9 or TDR10, are manufactured by Wildlife Computers and are able to measure continuously pressure, temperature and light along the seal foraging trip. The resolution and precision of temperature data is rather low, of order 0.5C, however the spatial resolution is unusually high with more than 60 profiles every day. Data are in NetCDF.
