Data provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
From 2009 to 2017, we deployed 167 satellite tags on loggerheads within the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Bight of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. These tags collected and transmitted location, temperature and depth information and have yielded 18,790 temperature-depth profiles during the highly stratified season (01 June–04 October) for the region. This included 16,371 profiles exceeding the mixed-layer depth, and, of those, 11,591 full water column profiles reaching the ocean floor.
