<Summary>Raw data acquired by position sensors on board RV Polarstern during expedition PS145/2 was processed to receive a validated master track which can be used as reference of further expedition data. During PS145/2 two Trimble Marine R750 GPS receivers and the iXBlue HYDRINS hydrographic survey inertial navigation system were used as navigation sensors. Data were downloaded from DAVIS SHIP data base (https://dship.o2a-data.de) with a resolution of 1 sec. 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. ** For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.975265"! ** This dataset contains the master track in 10 min resolution, for other resolutions please see "Other version" references.</Summary>
