Abstract:
Abstract: Raw data acquired by position sensors on board RV METEOR during expedition M219 were processed to receive a validated master track which can be used as reference of further expedition data. During M219 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 Insightics Marine DSHIP Extraction (https://dship.o2a-data.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.
