This dataset consists of acoustic data collected using an icListen Smart Hydrophone (model SC35-ETH) integrated into an iRobot M1 Seaglider during a campaign in the North Sea, west of Ireland. The glider was deployed from 22nd June to 25th July 2021 as the sole glider in the campaign on behalf of the EU Marine Robots (EUMR) project. The acoustics data are provided as both raw acoustic waveform (.WAV format) files, and spectral analyses of the data (as ascii .txt files). Once the glider was recovered, the acoustics data were transferred directly from the glider and so no post processing has been completed. An error in the instrument system led to an error in the timestamps on the data files. The first waveform was started at 2021-06-27 12:29:42, and this was recorded as 2010-01-01 00:02:30. The timestamps for all filenames and the timestamps of all records in the spectral files have been corrected for this time offset. All the filename name changes are provided in the timestamp_logs directory. In addition, some spectral files were not closed correctly and held multiple records. These files have been split into new files and timestamps corrected accordingly. The details of the new files generated are given in the SBF_recover.txt log file. The environmental, positional and engineering parameters collected alongside the acoustic data are available through the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) using the ERDDAP tool below.

ACSIS (the North Atlantic Climate System Integrated Study) was an integrated programme of sustained observations, synthesis, and numerical modelling designed to address the overarching objective of enhancing the UK's capability to detect, attribute and predict changes in the North Atlantic (NA) Climate System, comprising: the North Atlantic Ocean, the atmosphere above it including its composition, and interactions with Arctic Sea Ice and the Greenland Ice Sheet. ACSIS was a partnership between six NERC centres (NCAS, NOC, BAS, NCEO, CPOM, PML) and the UK Met Office, exploiting the partners' unique capabilities in observing and simulating the atmosphere including its composition, the ocean, the cryosphere, and the fully coupled climate system. This collection includes global ocean simulations generated within the project. ACSIS was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) through National Capability Long Term Science Multiple Centre (NC LTS-M) grant NE/N018028/1

Monthly output from an integration of the UK Global Ocean, GO6, configuration of the NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) ocean and sea-ice model, forced by the DFS5.2 (Drakkar Forcing Set: Dussin et al, 2016) surface field dataset. GO6 consists of version 3.6 of NEMO and version 5.2.1 of the CICE (Community Ice CodE) sea-ice model, and the present simulation is on the global eORCA025 1/4° grid. The ocean is initialised from a climatology based on the EN3 monthly objective analysis (Ingleby and Huddleston, 2007) averaged over years 2004–2008, and is integrated from 1958 to 2015. The sea-ice fields are only available for the period 1958 to 2008. The model was run on the Archer supercomputing platform through the Rose/Cylc interface on Puma, and the run ID on the Puma system is u-ao882. The integrations were funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under the Atlantic Climate System Integrated Study (ACSIS) project (NE/N018044/1).

The dataset is a 40 year control run of a NEMO-based 1/12 degree grid spacing model of the Southern Ocean as part of the ORCHESTRA (Ocean Regulation of Climate by Heat and Carbon Sequestration and Transports) LTS-M project. It uses the NEMO "extended" grid, although ice cavities are closed. The model was run on Archer, the national HPC platform. The dataset covers the full length of the model run and includes regular (5 day mean) output of the model state, as well as more frequent (1 day mean) output of surface variables and fluxes and 1 month mean of more extensive transport diagnostics. This is the second of two control runs and was initialised from the end of the 30th year (nominally 1978) of CORE2NYF (Munday et al., 2021), a 3+37 year control run forced with CORE2 (corrected normal year forcing version 2.0) normal year forcing. Forced by JRA55-do, an interannually-varying forcing set (Tsujino et al., 2018). With some additional forcing as supplied by the UK Met Office (freshwater runoff, tidal friction, geothermal heating) and additional freshwater runoff to suppress polynya formation.

ORCHESTRA is a NERC-funded Long Term Science programme that involves scientists from many NERC Centres. This 5 year project began in spring 2016 and will use a combination of data collection, analyses and computer simulations to radically improve our ability to understand and predict the circulation of the Southern Ocean and its role in the global climate, with particular emphasis on the way that the Southern Ocean absorbs and stores heat and carbon. This Collection provides the outputs of innovative model runs of the 1/12 degree Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) model of the Southern Ocean carried out within the project

A three-dimensional wide-angle active source seismic dataset was acquired during RRS James Cook cruise JC152 (August - September 2017), around the Scanner Pockmark Complex in the North Sea. Data were recorded on 25 four-component ocean bottom seismometers, recording at a sampling rate of 4 kHz. Four different seismic sources were used: 1) a 700 ci (100, 200 and 400 ci) Bolt airgun array towed at 10-12 m below sea surface and fired at 10 s intervals; 2) a 420 ci (2 x 105/105 ci) GI airgun array, towed at 2 m depth below sea surface and fired at 8 s intervals; 3) a Squid sparker (1750 or 2000 J), towed at the sea surface and triggered at 2 s intervals; and, 4) a Duraspark sparker (2000 J), towed at the sea surface and triggered at 2 s intervals. This dataset complements Bayrakci et al. (2021; https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.932200) and updates instrument and shot corrections to fit a single, unique set of instrument positions, generated using a grid search algorithm. Data are provided in standard SEG-Y format. The shot line geometry corrections were performed following the method described in the accompanying document CHIMNEY_OBS_corrections_summary.pdf. All location information is also present in the positioning directory. The data were acquired as part of the 'Characterization of major overburden leakage pathways above sub-seafloor CO2 storage reservoirs in the North Sea' (CHIMNEY) project, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under grant reference NE/N016130/1.
