Note: NSIDC has been notified of an error in the way the bias correction was applied to the ice draft data in this data set. We are currently working to resolve this issue. If you have an urgent need for these data, contact NSIDC User Services.

This data set consists of moored Upward Looking Sonar (ULS) data from 14 stations in the Weddell Sea. Parameters in the processed data files are water pressure, water temperature, draft, and a flag to indicate if the instrument is under ice. Raw data files contain additional parameters. These data were contributed by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany, in 1999. Data are available via ftp.
