Calibration for conductivity was performed at sea using water samples. The CTD data were processed using the standard Seabird algorithms. Downcast data were separated and averaged over 1 dbar intervals. The accuracy of the calibrated CTD measurements is: 1 dbar for pressure, 0.002 °C for temperature, 0.003 psu for salinity.</description></descriptions><geoLocations><geoLocation><geoLocationBox><westBoundLongitude>3.5645</westBoundLongitude><eastBoundLongitude>7.4092</eastBoundLongitude><southBoundLatitude>-34.1268</southBoundLatitude><northBoundLatitude>-31.6452</northBoundLatitude></geoLocationBox></geoLocation><geoLocation><geoLocationPlace>Eastern South Atlantic</geoLocationPlace></geoLocation></geoLocations><fundingReferences><fundingReference><funderName>German Research Foundation</funderName><funderIdentifier funderIdentifierType="Crossref Funder ID">https://doi.org/10.13039/501100001659</funderIdentifier><awardNumber awardURI="https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/274762653">274762653</awardNumber><awardTitle>TRR 181:  Energietransfer in der Atmosphäre und im Ozean</awardTitle></fundingReference></fundingReferences></resource>
