The transit of the R/V Sonne started from Las Palmas (departure: 2021-12-11) and ended in Guayaquil, Ecuador (arrival: 2022-01-11). Dataset includes underway data collected in Puerto Rico area, as well as links to longer cross Atlantic data stored in the PANGAEA database (see the Documentation). Hydro acoustic data were continuously recorded along the transect using a Simrad EK60 echo sounder operating at four frequencies (18, 38, 120, and 200 kHz). The EK60 were set at 20 log R time-varied gain function (where R is the range in meters) and using a pulse length of 1.024 ms. Shift consisted in regular control of the acquisition and the absence of interferences, and report all abnormal event in the spatial organization of the biological component of the pelagic ecosystem (0 to a maximum excepted at 1800 m with the 18 kHz). This is MSR/RATS cruise U2021-020 as part of the World Data Center for oceanography and geophysics. Decipher the coupling of biogeochemical and ecological processes and their influence on atmospheric chemistry along the transport pathway of water from the upwelling areas off Africa, through the North Atlantic Gyre into the Sargasso Sea and further into the Caribbean and the equatorial Pacific.

Updates are performed as needed to maintain currentness. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian ADCP ADCP Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile. As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements. echo sounder echo sounder instrument used to determine water depth or bathymetry also known as an echosounder Flow-through pump Flow-through pump Flow-through pump refers to a pump system, often found onboard a research vessel. Such pump can feed seawater continuously into instrument that record certain properties of the seawater continuously. fluorometer fluorometer fluorometer meteorological sensor meteorological sensor Any meteorological sensor, but also see specific instruments such as aerovane, anemometer, etc. thermosalinograph thermosalinograph automated sea surface temperature and salinity instrument, usually attached to the hull of a ship Thermosalinograph is an automated Sea Surface Temperature and Salinity measurement system making measurement on board a ship using a water intake.
