Dataset: Oxygen data from 12 Wire Flyer deployments conducted on R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific from January to February 2017

Data were collected on R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific during January and February 2017. The data have not been corrected for any time lags. Oxygen data are from an Aanderaa Optode 4831F. See the accompanying sensor manual (PDF) for the field details.

The Wire Flyer position was calculated using measurements of the clump weight depth and the wire payout. The layback distance is the Flyer’s distance behind the ship. Refer to the Supplemental Files for more information on the Wire Flyer.

Known Problems/Issues:
There is a time lag in the data due to the sensor's foil response. This is noticeable on adjacent profiles, with similar O2 values appearing at different depths. The data can be lag shifted 5-7 seconds to remove most of the offset.
