***** Dataset abstract ***** Depth of the seabed along the five-minute averaged cruise track (Landwehr et al., 2020; DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3752691) of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) was calculated from the the General Bathyemtric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO; GEBCO Compilation Group, 2019) 2019 gridded 30-arc second bathymetry data. The nearest gridded value from the bathymetry dataset was used to find the depth at the averaged position. Provided within this dataset is the average position of the vessel during a five-minute time period (where the time given is the middle time of the averaging interval). ***** Dataset contents ***** - cruise_track_gebco2019_depth_5min, data file, comma-separated values - data_file_header.txt, metadata, text - README.txt, metadata, text ***** Dataset license ***** This GEBCO sea floor depth along the cruise track dataset from ACE is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) whose full text can be found at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
