Description
The dataset contains temperature, salinity and biological parameters, including dissolved oxygen and turbidity data, measured by a Slocum glider off the coast of Kimberley (Western Australia).
Slocum glider data from the oceans around Australia have been collected by the Ocean Gliders Facility (formerly known as the Australian National Facility for Ocean Gliders (ANFOG)) since June 2008 and are ongoing. The data are obtained from an onboard suite of instruments, which include Seabird-SBE41 CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth), WETLabs BBFL2SLO 3 parameter optical sensor (measuring chlorophyll-a, CDOM and 700-nm backscatter) and an Aanderaa oxygen optode (measuring concentrations of dissolved oxygen in seawater).
