Methods & Sampling

Data is logged onboard the vehicle as Lightweight Communications and Marshalling (LCM) format. For ease of distribution, raw data from the onboard sensors was converted from LCM to Matlab (.mat) files, the .mat files are included in the files section. This raw data was also converted to .csv format and included in the data package (see data section).

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).

Each dive has an associated "firstProfile.csv" which includes processed data from the first descent to maximum depth for a particular dive (dataset 928684, see related datasets). This profile data contains all sensors interpolated onto the same time base. Each SUPR sampler has an associated summary csv which includes average sensor data values calculated over a specific valve's pumping time. (dataset 928720, see related datasets).

Problems/Issues

* Clio031: No data due to ballast issues * Clio032: BUSHBABY was inadvertently programmed with an incorrect port number for the last sample. The port number should have been 4. Optode failed to record data below 400 m * Clio033: Incubation chamber bags did not fill * Clio036: BUSHBABY started pumping too early on port 8 & 9 * Clio041: Vehicle surface an hour early due to a missed sample at 140 m.

Data Processing Description

Each dive has csv and mat files associated with the logged output from each sensor. The data is provided at the native rate provided by each sensor, see data section.

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.
