Biopump-DataAll

Dataset from a monitoring strategy combining satellite (MODIS), surface ocean weather-buoy (http://www.ec.gc.ca), and multi-sensor time-series data (including video, photographic and acoustic seafloor imaging) of benthic boundary layer processes using Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) seafloor cabled observatory. ONC’s network consists of five subsea observatory nodes linked by 800 kilometers of powered electro-optic cables, looping across the northern Juan de Fuca tectonic plate.
Daily data&fluxes: averaged data from 1 Hz measurements of an internet operated vehicle (IOV) at 870 m water depth in Barkley Canyon, from the NASA MODIS satellite and from a weather buoy near the study site.
Weekly data: calculated weekly averages of our analyses with SeaDAS in comparison with the MODIS, 8-day composites provided by NASA for the same period.
Hourly data: averaged data from 1 Hz measurements of an internet operated vehicle (IOV) at 870 m water depth in Barkley Canyon, from the NASA MODIS satellite and from a weather buoy near the study site.
Fluxes: averaged half hourly data of flow velocity and calculated along- and across canyon fluxes of chlorophyll at 870 m in Barkley Canyon.
SeaDAS: estimations of POC from MODIS satellite-based observations derived via SeaDAS from monthly correlations (December, April) of chlorophyll/POC in surface waters.
Benthos: relative abundances (%) of benthic fauna at the study site and environmental conditions at that time, using sensor data from the IOV.
