Research Data

The research team is using this webpage to collaboratively share their data for the adaptive sampling technique they are utilizing in the project. Fortunately, they have agreed to make the data available for the education/outreach project for the students to access, look at, and use for their investigations if they would like.

1) Google Earth Layers

* Click here to download the How to Read CONVERGE Google Earth Layers Data Primer *

• CODAR
  • Latest map and latest 25 hour average map updated in real-time
  • Daily files with hourly raw maps with time slider
  • Archive of all average and hourly kmz files
• Glider
  • Mission tracks with time slider and depth averaged velocity vector per segment
  • Along-track segment averaged fluorescence (upper 30 m) and bottom temperature
• Krill acoustic surveys
  • Track location with depth average krill integrated biomass
• Penguin Tracks (NOTE – As of 2/9/15 the bird team is done tagging penguins for the 2014-15 season. The Adelie chicks should start fledging this week and Gentoo adults haven’t been staying at the colony for long enough to get tags out, and more importantly get them back.)
  • All individual penguin tracks
  • Mean kernel density – Adelies (yellow)
  • Mean kernel density – Gentoos (green)

**All the following data (#2-6) will be archived on the website**
