Abstract

This dataset includes the GPS data from 12 Wire Flyer deployments conducted on R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific from January to February 2017.

Data were collected on R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific during January and February 2017. The GPS data are from the ship's data stream. The winch payout was logged from the winch LCI unit. The Wire Flyer position was calculated using measurements of the clump weight depth and the wire payout. The layback distance is the Flyer’s distance behind the ship. Refer to the Supplemental Files for more information on the Wire Flyer.
