Seaglider observations in the Belgica Trough and over the continental slope of the Bellingshausen Sea, Antarctica, February to March 2020

Seaglider observations were collected in and around the Belgica Trough in the Bellingshausen Sea, Antarctica, and over the continental slope to the immediate north. The campaign aimed at resolving the narrow boundary currents of the trough's circulation, as well as extending observational coverage in an under-studied region (i.e. the Bellingshausen Sea). The Seaglider was prepared and piloted by the University of East Anglia (COMPASS), deployed 01 Feb 2020 and recovered 20 Mar 2020 from the RV Nathaniel B Palmer by the California Institute of Technology (TABASCO), who also assisted with piloting. The observations include temperature, conductivity, density, salinity, chlorophyll and backscatter data.

Explanation
BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

Statement
This dataset was created by scientists at UEA using in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for long-term archive and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library. No data quality or data processing procedures were applied by BODC to these data.
