DescriptionThis dataset provides the conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) profiles from a Prawler profiler mooring deployed by the SWOT prelaunch field campaign. The campaign was designed to test the performance of several instruments/platforms in meeting the SWOT Calibration/Validation (CalVal) requirement. It was conducted near the SWOT CalVal crossover location, about 300 kilometers west of Monterey, California between September, 2019 and January, 2020. The campaign also deployed another two CTD moorings, a slocum glider, one bottom pressure recorder and one Pressure Inverted Echo Sounder. Details can be found in the user guide and the journal reference given in the documentation section.
