Processed first profiles of sensor data from AUV Clio taken on R/V Atlantis (CliOMZ AT50-10 expedition) from Golfito Costa Rica to San Diego USA in May-June 2023.

Abstract:

This is oceanographic profiles generated by Clio, an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) focused on biogeochemical sampling. Clio was deployed on the R/V Atlantis CliOMZ AT50-10 expedition from Golfito, Costa Rica to San Diego, USA from May - June of 2023. The dataset contains processed profiling sensor data from the initial vehicle descent (i.e., the “first profile”). This profile data contains all sensors binned into 0.5 m depth increments.

Methods & Sampling

The AT50-10 cruise contains Clio dives 031-050. Each dive has a processed first profile, which includes processed data from the first descent to maximum depth for a particular dive. This profile data contains all sensors interpolated onto the same time base, binned into 0.5 m depth increments.

Oboard sensors include: CTD (SBE 49 FastCAT CTD), fluorometer (Wetlabs Fluorometer FLNTURTD-3151), optode (AANDERAA Oxygen Optode 4831), SUNA nitrate sensor (SUNA V2 - Submersible Ultraviolet Nitrate Analyzer) and transmissometer (SEA-BIRD SCIENTIFIC C-Star Transmissometer).

BCO-DMO Processing

* Combined all first processed profiles from AT50-10 into 1 file.

Aanderaa 4831 oxygen optode

Supplied Name: AANDERAA Oxygen Optode 4831

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Aanderaa 4831 oxygen optode

Acronym: AA optode 4831

Generic Description:

A dissolved oxygen sensor which provides analogue (0-5V) and digital output (RS-232) to third party data loggers, gliders and floats. Measurement based on the ability of selected substances to act as dynamic fluorescence quenchers. The fluorescent indicator is a special platinum porphyrin complex embedded in a gas permeable foil that is exposed to the surrounding water. In this standard model, a black optical isolation coating protects the complex from sunlight and fluorescent particles in the water. This sensing foil is attached to a window providing optical access for the measuring system from inside a watertight housing. The foil is excited by modulated blue light, and the phase of a returned red light is measured. For improved stability the 4831 optode also performs areference phase reading by use of a red LED that does not produce fluorescence in the foil. This model is fitted with a standard sensing foil. By linearizing and temperature compensating, with an incorporated temperature sensor, the absolute O2 concentration can be determined. Accuracy +/- 1.5% or 2uM; precision +/- 0.2 uM.

AUV Clio

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: AUV Clio

Generic Description:

Clio is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to accomplish the dual goals of global ocean mapping and biochemistry sampling. The ability to sample dissolved and particulate seawater biochemistry across ocean basins while capturing fine-scale biogeochemical processes sets it apart from other AUVs. Clio is designed to efficiently and precisely move vertically through the ocean, drift laterally to observe water masses, and integrate with research vessel operations to map large horizontal scales up to a depth of 6,000 meters.

Satlantic Submersible Ultraviolet Nitrate Analyser V2

Supplied Name: SUNA V2 - Submersible Ultraviolet Nitrate Analyzer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Satlantic Submersible Ultraviolet Nitrate Analyser V2

Acronym: SUNA V2

Generic Description:

The SUNA V2 UV nitrate sensor monitors nutrient concentrations in real-time. This sensor measures nitrate over a wide range of environmental conditions, from blue-ocean nitraclines to storm runoff in rivers and streams. Applications include: Long-term nutrient monitoring, Coastal water profiling, Water quality monitoring, and pollution detection. Full UV spectrum range for maximum accuracy. Real-time nitrate calculation with real-time temperature/salinity compensation. The SUNA V2 incorporates the proven MBARI-ISUS nitrate measurement technology, which is based on the absorption characteristics of nitrate in the UV light spectrum. It has the option of 10 or 5 mm pathlength, a wavelength rage of 190 - 370 nm, and a depth rating of 500 m.

Sea-Bird SBE 49 FastCAT CTD Sensor

WetLabs FLNTU

Supplied Name: Wetlabs Fluorometer FLNTURTD-3151

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: WetLabs FLNTU

Acronym: FLNTU

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic Description:

The WetLabs ECO FLNTU is a dual-wavelength, single-angle sensor for simultaneously determining both chlorophyll fluorescence and turbidity. It detects light scattered by particles suspended in water, generating an output voltage proportional to turbidity or suspended solids. Scaling factors are used to convert the voltage readings to values representing chlorophyll concentration and turbidity expressed in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs).
