Summary

This BIOPOLE dataset comprises of ocean glider data collected from April 2022 until March 2025 in the Southern Ocean, funded by the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC). This dataset aims to understand how nutrients in polar waters drive the global carbon cycle and primary productivity. The glider deployments are collecting pressure, temperature, conductivity, salinity, optical backscatter and chlorophyll data. Near-real time, recovery (i.e., the data from the glider SD card when the glider is recovered) and quality controlled delayed mode versions of the data are available. As well as flying in open water, the gliders are also sampling under ice to provide data from areas that typically cannot be reached by traditional ships. The organisations contributing to the dataset are the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) under NERC Grant Reference NE/W004933/1. The data are archived at the British Oceanography Data Centre (BODC).
