Short summary
The high-resolution autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) dataset for the South China Sea (SCS) provides 13 491 temperature and salinity profiles and covers 463 d of experiments. To our knowledge, the resolution and length of this dataset are enough to detect the asymmetry, vertical tilt, and temporal evolution of mesoscale eddies (MEs) and the corresponding submesoscale processes. The dataset is expected to improve the accuracy of current and biogeochemistry numerical models. More projects conducting AUV experiments will be promoted in the future.
