Bottom Pressure Recorder (BPR) data from autonomous, moored, uncabled instruments deployed at Axial Seamount on the Juan de Fuca Ridge since 2000. The raw pressure data recorded in psi have been converted to depth in meters by multiplying psi values by 0.67. Each ASCII file is the data from one BPR deployment, recorded every 15 seconds. Files include: date/time, raw-depth, temperature, Spotl-detided-depth, Low-pass-filter-detided-depth, and, where available, the drift-corrected-raw-depth, drift-corrected-Spotl-detided-depth, and drift-corrected-low-pass-filter-detided-depth. Drift corrections are made only for BPRs co-located with seafloor benchmarks where Mobile Pressure Recorder measurements were used to determine the drift. See ASCII notes files for data gaps and spreadsheet log for deployment locations and other metadata. BPR instruments built by NOAA/PMEL. Funding provided by NOAA/PMEL and by NSF grants OCE-0725605/0726093, OCE-1155849/1155381, and OCE-1356839/1356216 (investigators William Chadwick and Scott Nooner).
