Abstract:
Raw data acquired by position sensors on board RV Polarstern during expedition ANT-IX/4 was processed to receive a validated master track which can be used as reference of further expedition data. 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.

Comment:
This dataset contains the master track in 10 min resolution, for other resolutions please see "Other version" references.
The original version (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.855926) was found to be erroneous (at the profile which was run at around latitude 0°) and was therefore replaced.
