Abstract:
This data set was collected using Sippican T-7 Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) probes during a survey of the Jurassic Quiet Zone area in the western Pacific Ocean, as part of Sikuliaq cruise SKQ202418S in late 2024 and early 2025. XBTs were deployed approximately twice per day during seismic acquisition. These raw data files are in ASCII .EDF exportable data format. The file headers contain coordinates of deployment. Most casts nominally reached ~700m depth. The data set was acquired as part of the project called Resolving the Origin of the Jurassic Quiet Zone. Funding was provided by NSF awards OCE22-21814 and OCE22-21815.
