IMOS - Ocean Gliders - Slocum glider deployment in Tasmania in Storm Bay (September - October 2011)

The dataset contains temperature, salinity and biological parameters, including dissolved oxygen and turbidity data, measured by a Slocum glider in Storm Bay (Tasmania). 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 a 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).
