Palmer LTER Ship Datasets (from R2R)

The Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program catalogs all underway ship-based scientific data collected by U.S. Research Vessels. For recent cruises, this includes CTD, ACAP, Met data, Sonar, and a variety of other instruments. Older cruises may only have navigation or sonar data available, and very few cruises are cataloged prior to 2000.

The following list is the best available catalog of all Palmer LTER related cruises. Links to R2R datasets are provided when available. If you have corrections, please contact the PAL Information Manager.

Ships: R/V Polar Duke (PD), ARSV Laurence M. Gould (LMG), RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer (NBP), RR:R/V Roger Revelle (RR)
