Browning, Thomas J (2023): Master track of METEOR cruise M187 in 1 sec resolution (zipped, 143.4 MB) [dataset]. GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.962671

Raw data acquired by position sensors on board RV METEOR during expedition M187 were processed to receive a validated master track which can be used as reference of further expedition data. During M187 the motion reference unit Kongsberg SeaTex AS MRU-5 combined with Kongsberg SeaTex AS Seapath 320 and two C and C Technologies GPS receivers C-NAV3050 were used as navigation sensors. Data were downloaded from DAVIS SHIP data base (https://dship.bsh.de) with a resolution of 1 sec. Processing and evaluation of the data is outlined in the data processing report. Processed data are provided as a master track with 1 sec resolution derived from the position sensors' data selected by priority and a generalized track with a reduced set of the most significant positions of the master track.
