Upper- and Deep-Ocean Observational Datasets across the SAMBA Array and the Broader South Atlantic (OCEAN ICE dataset for deliverable D5.3)
The dataset contains 7 observational subsets collected in the South Atlantic Basin (45S~0N), including 4 cruise/float individual profiles datasets and 2 gridded datasets. Specifically:
(1) cruise/float individual profiles datasets
• SAMBA-MSM60 cruises (Filename: SAMBA-MSM60.zip)
• SAMBA-west (SAM02-SAM18) cruises (Filename: SAMBA-West.zip)
• GO-SHIP A09, A10 cruises (Filename: GO-SHIP.zip)
• South Atlantic Individual Argo profiles (Filename: Argo_T_S_float.zip)
• GoodHope cruises (Filename: GoodHope.zip)
• SAMBA-East cruises (Filename: SAMBA-East.zip)
(2) Gridded products
• South Atlantic IAP monthly gridded products (0-6000m) (Filename: IAP_gridded_product.zip)
• South Atlantic SIO Argo gridded products (0-2000m) (Filename: SIO-Argo.zip)
The README file could be found in each subset.
This dataset is affiliated with the Delivery 5.3 (D5.3) of the EU OCEAN:ICE project.

- Statement
- The dataset brings together observational data products covering the SAMBA array and the broader South Atlantic. It comprises individual cruise and float profile datasets from SAMBA-MSM60, SAMBA-West, GO-SHIP A09 and A10, South Atlantic Argo, GoodHope and SAMBA-East, together with South Atlantic IAP monthly gridded products and SIO Argo gridded products. Individual subsets retain their respective spatial and temporal coverage and are accompanied by README documentation.
