AUV Sentry dive navigation and along-track data at Axial Seamount (TN383, 2020)
A research cruise to Axial Seamount was conducted in 2020 with ROV Jason II and AUV Sentry during Thompson cruise TN383 (chief scientist Bill Chadwick). A total of seven AUV Sentry dives were conducted in and around the seamount. These Sentry navigation data files are sampled at 1Hz and provided here as comma-separated SCC-like-formatted ASCII text files, with column headers. The navigation data was re-navigated post-dive to combining USBL acoustic navigation with DVL information. The data set was collected and processed as part of the project called Advancing Deformation Monitoring Methods at Axial Seamount. Funding was provided from NSF awards OCE17-36882, OCE17-36926, OCE17-37019.
