Near-Realtime Processing of CTD Data 
All CTD data have been recorded at an original resolution of 24 Hz. Data have been checked 
and pre-processed during the cruise using the SeaBird SBE Data Processing software, version 
7.26.7.129. The preliminary data taken from the downcast of each CTD profile were binned at 
1 dbar resolution and sent on a daily basis during the cruise in near-real-time to the Maritime 
Data Centre at BSH, Hamburg, Germany and there were uploaded to the CrossDataPortal 
(https://cdp.srx.bsh.de), the open data portal of BSH, from where the data are available to the 
public. In total, near-realtime data for 97 CTD profiles were submitted and published during the 
eruise. 
Pre-processing showed a better performance of the secondary temperature/conductivity sen- 
sor pack (TC2) for most of the cruise. CTD data of profiles #037/GN026A and #038/GN027 
showed unusual peaks/signals after binning, which were not obvious in the initial raw data
