MBARI Mapping AUV mission main-vehicle computer (MVC) log files (ASCII and binary format) at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge Puy des Folles Seamount, EMARK Massif, Falkor EMARK Vents, and Hydra (Grappe Deux) (2023)

This data set of raw Main Vehicle Computer (MVC) log files was collected on MBARI Mapping AUV mission surveys at four Mid-Atlantic Ridge sites: the summit of Puy des Folles Seamount from missions 20230310m1, 20230310m2, and 20230402m1; the EMARK Massif from missions 20230314m1, 20230314m2, 20230315m1, 20230316m1, 20230317m1, 20230317m2, 20230318m1, 20230319m1, 20230319m2; the Falkor EMARK Vents from missions 20230321m1, 20230321m2, and 20230323m1; and Hydra (Grappe Deux) from missions 20230325m1, 20230326m1, 20230328m1, and 20230329m1 (investigators David Caress, Jeffrey Beeson, Jennifer Paduan, Sharon Walker, David Butterfield). The Main Vehicle Computer log files are in ASCII and binary format and contain raw navigation and raw ctd, pressure, and magnetics data merged with raw navigation for each entire mission. The log files are served in a tar bundle, one for each mission. The AUV survey missions were conducted during the 2023 R/V Falkor (too) cruise FKt230303 (chief scientist David Butterfield) to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Funding was provided by the Schmidt Ocean Institute and a grant from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation to MBARI.
