Healy routinely collects underway bathymetry (single beam),
sea surface temperature, conductivity and meteorological
data, which, along with navigation data, are not considered
proprietary. In the absence of other guidance from the
funding source, the chief scientist may place a two-year
proprietary hold restricting access to other data collected
by Healy (including but not limited to: multibeam, sub-bottom,
ADCP, CTD and XBT/XCTD), otherwise the data will be made
publicly available expediently
Before debarking from the ship, each chief scientist
will receive two sets of data on digital media, which
will include data from all of the vessel’s shipboard
data acquisition systems. All underway data systems
will be operated (and data archived) up until the end
of each leg when the ship is anchored, or docked (or
enters a foreign EEZ without a research clearance) (science
seawater may be shut down in harbors). The exact definition
of "end of data collection" for each leg will
be reviewed with the chief scientist by the on-board
support personnel shortly after the start of the leg.
Requests for additional copies of the digital data set
should be made by the Chief scientist during the cruise
planning process. It may not be possible to create additional
copies if requested during a leg. PI’s funded
by NSF are required to submit data copies to the National
Archives (Policy
for Oceanographic Data, NSF 94-126).
The Office of Polar Programs also has a data policy.
