Description:
Trajectory data for APEX floats 9223 and 9224 along Dronning Maud Land and Coats Land in the southern Weddell Sea from Mar 2022 - Feb 2023. The APEX floats were deployed during the Hybrid Antarctic Float Observing System (HAFOS) in the Weddell Sea on expedition PS129 with POLARSTERN. The attached archive contains trajectory data obtained through acoustic tracking using artoa4argo V4.355 (temporal sampling interval: daily).

Description:
Profile data of physical oceanography (temperature, pressure, salinity) were obtained from APEX floats 9223 and 9224 along Dronning Maud Land and Coats Land in the southern Weddell Sea from March 2022 - February 2023. The APEX floats were deployed during the Hybrid Antarctic Float Observing System (HAFOS) in the Weddell Sea on expedition PS129 with POLARSTERN. The attached archive contains raw/unprocessed data telemetered directly from the floats, without any standard ARGO delayed-mode QC/QA performed. The file contains data from 2 SBE 41 CTDs (vertical sampling interval: 2m (surface-40m), 4m (40-200m), 10m (200-700m), 25m (700-800m), 50m (800-2000m), temporal sampling interval: 3 days (profiles 1-4), 10 days (profiles 5-36)).
