- XBT
- Knudsen 3.5KHz and/or 12KHz
- Magnetometer
- Gravimeter
GPS data are available via RS232 or UDP.
GYRO data are available via RS232 or UDP.
Other underway data are also available via RS232 or UDP- contact the R/V Science Coordinator if you require a full description of data and/or UDP ports.
The R2R Eventlog is available for science use.
At the end of the cruise the Chief Scientist will get one USB external drive with the official cruise data. A copy will also be sent back to WHOI's Data Library and to R2R (http://rvdata.us) . During the precruise planning stage the Chief Scientist can ask for a 2 year embargo on the data.
