    • 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)

    Metadata Updated: March 1, 2026

    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.
