Deep water formed around the Antarctic continent drives the world ocean circulation. More than 50% of this deep water is formed within only about 10% of the Antarctic circumpolar band: the Weddell Sea. Subtle changes in the circulation of the Weddell Sea can lead to major changes in floating ice shelves, with critical implications for global sea-level, the production of deep water, and the global ocean overturning circulation. The Filchner Trough on the continental shelf in the southern Weddell Sea plays an important role for the water mass exchange between the cold water on the continental shelf and the warm water off the continental shelf: It serves as a conduit for relatively warm water to flow southward across the continental shelf toward the Filchner Ronne Ice shelf and for the dense, cold water produced underneath the ice shelf to flow northward off the continental shelf to feed Antarctic Bottom Water. Four moorings (P1, P2, P4, P5) were places within the inflow pathway of the warm water at the northern entrance to the Filchner Trough on the continental shelf, and one mooring (P6) was placed off the continental shelf over the deep ocean. The mooring time series cover the period from February 2017 to March 2021 and are used to investigate the processes controlling the on-shore transport of relatively warm water onto the shelf toward the ice shelf and the interaction of the warm water with the cold dense water. The moorings provide observations of the circulation on the continental shelf and the temperature variability on small (tidal) to large (seasonal, interannual) time scales.

EC1 is a subsurface mooring that has been deployed in the Ulleung Interplain Gap (UIG) since 1996. The UIG is the only deep channel connecting the northern Japan Basin and the southwestern Ulleung Basin in the East Sea (Japan Sea). The EC1 provides continuous time series data at depths ranging from 150 to 2,250 meters, enabling scientific research on circulation and water properties. It equips current-meter, conductivity, temperature, pressure, and dissolved oxygen sensors. The EC1 mooring was recovered 3 times (26 times total) and redeployed 3 times (26 times total) from November 2020 to April 2023 (since 1996), with a typical turnover time of 1 year. The equipment has been upgraded since 1996 to continuously measure temperature, pressure, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and the speed and direction of three-dimensional current, as well as to collect more and better time series data. The sampling intervals of all sensors are equal to or less than 60 minutes. The temperature, pressure, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen data collected from November 2020 to April 2023 were quality-assured and quality-controlled with typical procedures such as global and local range tests, spike tests, and gradient tests. The magnetic declination of 9 degrees west was applied to the current data for compass calibration.   Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI.

Dataset contains bottom temperature data from both fixed and mobile gear types (e.g. traps, trawlers, scallopers, long-liners) in the Gulf of Maine and the South New England Bight. The time series begins in 2015 and runs in real-time until today. The water depths range from 1- 900 meters. The variability associated with tidal, wind, seasonal, and inter-annual processes can be depicted at nearly all sites in this multi-year time series. This data was collected as part of the Environmental Monitors on Lobster Traps (eMOLT) project - a non-profit collaboration of industry, science and academics devoted to the monitoring of the physical environment of the Gulf of Maine and the Southern New England Shelf.

As part of the STeP project (STorfjorden Polynya multidisciplinary study), two moorings, M1 and M2, were deployed in Storfjorden (Svalbard) on July 14, 2016 from the French R/V L’Atalante and were recovered one year later, on September 28, 2017, from the French R/V Pourquoi-Pas?. The two moorings, deployed a few hundred meters apart at 78°N and 20°E at a depth of 100m, documented the formation of dense Brine-enriched Shelf Water (BSW).  The moorings included both physical oceanography (PO) and biogeochemistry sensors. The present dataset is composed of PO data only: the 3 components of the currents, backscatter, salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen. PO sensors on M1, spanning the whole water column, included 6 Seabird SBE37 microcat (CTD),  15 RBR solo (T), and 1 RBR duet (TD) for hydrography, while currents were monitored with a RDI WH 300kHz upward looking ADCP and 1 Nortek Aquadopp underneath. PO sensors on the shorter M2 mooring included 1 Seabird SBE63 (CTD-O2), 1 RBR solo (T) and 1 RBR duo (TD). Data have been calibrated and validated and the different steps of this processing are discussed in the technical report provided with the dataset. Two netcdf4 files are provided for M1: one for hydrography (STEP2016_M1_hydrography.nc), the other one (STEP2016_M1_current.nc)  for currents and backscatter. Only one netcdf4 files (STEP2016_M2_hydrography.nc) is provided for the shorter M2. Temperature and salinity data from SBE sensors have been interpolated on a common time grid with a 20’ time step. Likewise temperature data from RBR are provided on a 30” time grid. A merged SBE-RBR dataset has also been built for increased vertical resolution, providing temperature every 20’. ADCP data are provided on a 100’ time grid. The user is referred to the technical report provided with the dataset for further information on the different fields.

Dataset contains bottom temperature data from lobster traps sites in the Gulf of Maine and the South New England Bight. The hourly time series begins in 2001 at over 100 fixed locations where commercial lobstermen have placed their traps. The water depths range from 1- 405 meters. The variability associated with tidal, wind, seasonal, and inter-annual processes can be depicted at nearly all sites in this multi-year time series. This data was collected as part of the Environmental Monitors on Lobster Traps (eMOLT) project - a non-profit collaboration of industry, science and academics devoted to the monitoring of the physical environment of the Gulf of Maine and the Southern New England Shelf.

A comprehensive set of oceanographic data were collected in Fortune Bay, a broad, mid-latitude fjord located on the south coast of Newfoundland (Canada). The dataset was gathered in partnership with IFREMER who collected data around the adjacent French archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. The dataset consists of data from taut-line moorings, land-based stations (a tide gauge and a couple of weather stations) and CTD profiles performed during mooring maintenances (~every 6 months). Parameters covered by the moorings include water column temperature (thermistor chain), salinity (2 points/depths per mooring), dissolved oxygen (on a limited number of moorings, within the surface layer) as well as current profiles (ADCP). Land-based stations monitored water level and temperature (tide gauge) and wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, air temperature and solar radiation (weather station). CTD profiles include dissolved oxygen for the most part. The program lasted two full years from May 2015 to May 2017 and sampling interval varied from 1-60 min depending on the instrument.
