SmartBuoy Marine Observational Network

This ongoing data set consists of biogeochemical sensor data from the
SmartBuoy moorings and related platforms which use ESM2 and ESMx data-loggers.

SmartBuoys consist of a 4 meter tall stainless steel frame with a fibreglass
torroid for buoyancy. Instruments are attached at a nominal 1 meter depth to
the frame. In-air sensors are mounted to the top of the torroid. The buoys
feature a satellite telemetry system providing near real-time telemetry.The
typical SmartBuoy configuration measures temperature, salinity, dissolved
oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity and photosynthetic active
radiation (PAR) sensors.A "Licor-arm" is also often fitted providing PAR
measurements additionally from 1 and 2 meters.The buoys are also typically
fitted with a water sampler which collects pre-spiked bag samples for later
nutrient (Nitrate and Silicate or phytoplankton analysis.

The NAS-3X in-situ nutrient analyser is also used on some sites which provides
nitrate concentration measurements at a higher freuency than the water
samples.Data are telemetered every two hours using satellite telemetry.

Seabed landers have also been fitted with ESM-2 data loggers and the data
collected is featured here.The mooring consists of a 3 legged stainless steel
"minilander" 1.5 meters high.The biogeochemical sensors are mounted at 1
meter above the seabed.These platforms often also include upward facing
acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) instruments, this data is **not**
held in the SmartBuoy database however.A table of deployment locations as of
July 2017 is given below:

本持续更新的数据集包含来自SmartBuoy浮标及其相关平台上的生物地球化学传感器数据，这些平台使用ESM2和ESMx数据记录器。SmartBuoy由一个4米高的不锈钢框架和一个纤维玻璃环组成，以提供浮力。仪器固定在框架的名义深度1米处。空中传感器安装在环的顶部。这些浮标配备了卫星遥测系统，可提供近乎实时的遥测数据。典型的SmartBuoy配置包括测量温度、盐度、溶解氧、叶绿素荧光、浑浊度和光合有效辐射（PAR）的传感器。此外，还经常配备有“Licor臂”，可从1米和2米处额外提供PAR测量。浮标还通常配备有水样采集器，用于收集预先标记的袋装样品，以供后续的营养（硝酸盐和硅酸盐或浮游植物）分析。在某些站点上还使用了NAS-3X原位养分分析仪，它以比水样更高的频率提供硝酸盐浓度测量。数据通过卫星遥测每两小时传输一次。海底着陆器也被配备了ESM-2数据记录器，收集的数据在此处展示。该浮标由一个3腿不锈钢“迷你着陆器”组成，高1.5米。生物地球化学传感器安装在距海底1米以上的位置。这些平台通常还包括向上面对的声学多普勒流速仪（ADCP）仪器，但此数据不在SmartBuoy数据库中。以下是截至2017年7月的部署位置表：
