Underway data for cruise JC018 in the Caribbean Sea around Montserrat

This dataset consists of measurements of underway meteorology, navigation and sea surface hydrography. A survey of the Caribbean Sea around Montserrat was undertaken from 03 to 16 December 2007. Data were collected on RRS James Cook cruise JC018. Navigation data were collected using an Applanix POSMV system and meteorology and sea surface hydrography were collected using the NMF Surfmet system. Both systems were run through the duration of the cruise, excepting times for cleaning, entering and leaving port, and while alongside. These cruises formed the field component of NERC project "The impact of submarine diagenesis of tephra on seawater chemistry". The objective of the research was to test the hypothesis that early diagenetic alteration of recent, subaerial, volcanogenic material in the submarine environment has a significant impact on the global biogeochemical cycle. A secondary objective was to map the distribution of volcanogenic material in the upper 1 metre of sediments around the island of Montserrat. The Discovery Science project was composed of Standard Grant reference NE/D004020/1 as the lead grant with child grant NE/N001125/1. The grant ran from 24 July 2007 to 23 December 2009 and is held by the University of Southampton, School of Earth and Ocean Sciences. The project was led by Professor Martin Ralph Palmer with co-investigators Professor Damon Andrew Teagle and Professor Rachel Ann Mills. The underway discrete salinity samples data and the underway navigation, meteorology and sea surface hydrography data have been received by BODC as raw files from the RRS James Cook. No further data are expected from this cruise.

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 for the “The impact of submarine diagenesis of tephra on seawater chemistry” project, which ran from 2007 to 2009, following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for ingestion into one of the schemas of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB). During ingestion BODC undertake quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data. For an overview please see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/about/information_technology/data_processing_steps/. BODC supply full information about data collection, data processing and data quality with all data requests to enable users to assess data suitability themselves.Instrument(s) used to collect data: fluorometers; thermosalinographs; multi-beam echosounders; salinity sensor; Differential Global Positioning System receivers; transmissometers; water temperature sensor; meteorological packages.
