Water temperature and depth data from Loggerhead Sea turtle (Caretta caretta) dive behavior from satellite tags in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean from 2009 to 2017 (NCEI Accession 0310450)
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.
