Profile data from WireWalker deployments at Mission Beach, California in 2016 at a 50m depth (NCEI Accession 0278591)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
This dataset contains biological, chemical, and physical data collected at shoreside Calif_shore during deployment QuIPP_2016 from 2016-06-13 to 2016-06-28. These data include chlorophyll a, conductivity, density, depth, dissolved Oxygen, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Data Logger, Dissolved Oxygen Sensor, and Fluorometer. These data were collected by Andrew J Lucas and Peter Franks of University of California-San Diego as part of the "Quantifying plankton dynamics in the internal tide using swarms of buoyancy-controlled robots (QuIPP)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-01-02.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Instruments were mounted on a WireWalker profiler (http://delmarocean.com/wirewalker/) and data collected during ascent only. The interval between profiles was dependent on sea state. The WireWalker instrument was deployed on 50-m depth contour off Mission Beach, CA near a thermistor chain and in line with Internal Waves on the Continental Margin (IWAVES) stations. For more information about IWAVES stations see Lerczark, 2001.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
