Approximately 25% of Antarctic Bottom Water has its origin as dense water exiting the western Ross Sea, but little is known about what controls the release of dense water plumes from the Drygalski Trough. We deployed two moorings on the slope from February, 2018, to January, 2019, to investigate the water properties of the bottom water exiting the region at Cape Adare and the relationship with the seasonal cycle, winds, and tides. Mooring P2 was placed at 1750 metres depth on the slope at Cape Adare at the same location as an earlier deployment of mooring CA1 in the CALM experiment (Gordon et al., 2015). Instruments on P2 were placed at the same depths as CA1 to continue that time series. Mooring P3 was placed on the same isobath on the slope at the mouth of the Drygalski Trough to measure the water properties moving along the slope from the east. Findings from the observations are described in Bowen et al. (2021).

This dataset contains current data acquired between July 2017 and August 2018 using 3 TCM3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meters installed next to the Tour Eiffel, Montségur and Crystal hydrothermal vent sites. The TCM-3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meter from Lowell Instruments LLC (North Falmouth, MA, USA) measures current using the drag-tilt principle. The logger is buoyant and is anchored to the bottom via a short flexible tether. Drag from moving water tilts the logger in the direction of flow. The logger’s accelerometer and magnetometer channels are used to record the amount of tilt and direction of tilt (compass bearing). The array comprises 3 currentmeters, deployed near the Tour Eiffel, Montségur and Crystal hydrothermal vent sites. It is not connected to an energy node. The currentmeter's internal clocks are set to UTC time before deployment. Clock drift after recovery is not implemented in data but added as metadata in Table_TCM3EMSO_Azores 2016-2018.

This dataset contains nifH gene copy numbers, growth rates, and grazing mortality rates of the major unicellular cyanobacterial diazotroph taxa (UCYN-A1, -A2/3/4, -B and -C), and growth rates and grazing mortality rates of total phytoplankton community (inferred by chlorophyll a) in the South China Sea and the Luzon Strait. The associated physicochemical factors including temperature, salinity, nitrate+nitrite, ammonium, phosphate, and chlorophyll a are also available in this dataset. All these data were collected during a research cruise (Cruise No. kk1801) aboard the R/V Tan Kah Kee in early February 2018.

This dataset contains dissolved iron concentrations ((Fe(II) + Fe(III); µmol/l) acquired between September 2016 and February 2017 (n=332) using the CHEMINI Fe, a CHEmical MINIaturized analyser (samples taken every 24 hours, with daily in situ calibration using a 25 µmol/l iron standard, Vuillemin et al., 2009). The sample inlet was positioned on the mussel bed at the base of the Tour Eiffel edifice of the Lucky Strike hydrothermal vent (1695 depth).CHEMINI Fe (CF1) was mounted on the TEMPO module which was itself connected to the SeaMON East node of the EMSO-Azores observatory.

This dataset contains turbidity, chlorophyll and the associated sensor raw data acquired between July 2017 and August 2018 on EMSO-Azores observatory by the EGIM. Tubidity is one of the 7 core parameters monitored by the (EGIM, EMSO Generic Instrumental Module)-[https://www.emso-fr.org/EMSO-Azores/Sensor-data-sheets/EGIM]. The EGIM prototype was deployed at Lucky Strike hydrothermal vent site, 25 m south west of the active edifice Tour Eiffel, to monitor local hydrodynamic variability and complement the data obtained by the numerous sensors set on this site: oceanographic mooring deployed south of the vent field, the multidisciplinary Seamon East node, autonomous current meters, array of temperature probes… Image Reference: https://www.seanoe.org/data/00454/56525/illustrations/illustration-40.gif.
