IMOS - Ocean Gliders - Slocum glider deployment in Western Australia off the coast of Kimberley (Sept - Oct 2012)

Dataset

Description

The dataset contains temperature, salinity and turbidity data measured by a Slocum glider off the coast of Kimberley (Western Australia). Note that this deployment doesn't contain any dissolved oxygen data.

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 concentration of dissolved oxygen in seawater).
