This dataset provides the first year of hourly ocean bottom pressure measurements at the North Pole from the Arctic Bottom Pressure Recorder - Follow On (ABPR-FO) deployed in August 2022. Based around a Paroscientific Digiquartz pressure sensor, the ABPR-FO is designed and powered to collect and transmit data for 5 years. The 5-year record will be collected, quality-controlled and updated at PO.DAAC on a yearly basis. The full time series is provided as a single netCDF file, and reports both bottom pressure (reported as liquid water equivalent thickness) and temperature. This dataset aims to serve as in situ validation for GRACE-FO data products in the central Arctic. This project is funded by NASA’s GRACE and GRACE-FO Science Team and supported by PONANT Science.
