<Reference>Trackline map of navigation sensors from METEOR cruise M216 (URI: https://download.pangaea.de/reference/138959/attachments/M216_nav.png)</Reference>
<Summary>Raw data acquired by position sensors on board RV METEOR during expedition M216 were processed to receive a validated master track which can be used as reference of further expedition data. During M216 the motion reference unit Kongsberg SeaTex AS MRU-5 combined with Kongsberg SeaTex AS Seapath 320 and two SAAB R6 DGPS receiver were used as navigation sensors. Data were downloaded from DAVIS SHIP data base (http://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. ** For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.993382"!</Summary>
