IMOS - Ocean Gliders - Slocum glider deployment in Western Australia off the coast of Kimberley (Sept - Oct 2013)

The dataset contains temperature, salinity 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 700nm Backscatter) and an Aanderaa oxygen optode (measuring concentration of dissolved oxygen in seawater.

本数据集包含由Slocum滑翔机 (Slocum glider) 在澳大利亚西部金伯利 (Kimberley) 沿岸海域采集的温度、盐度与浊度数据。
自2008年6月起，澳大利亚海洋滑翔机设施 (Ocean Gliders Facility) 便持续采集澳大利亚周边海域的Slocum滑翔机观测数据，该项目至今仍在开展。
本数据集的观测数据源自搭载于滑翔机的成套仪器设备，具体包括：Seabird-SBE41型CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth，即电导率、温度、深度仪)、WETLabs BBFL2SLO型三参数光学传感器 (可测量叶绿素a (Chlorophyll-a)、有色溶解有机物 (CDOM) 以及700nm后向散射信号)，以及Aanderaa型光学溶解氧传感器 (oxygen optode，用于测定海水中的溶解氧浓度)。
