IMOS - Ocean Gliders - Slocum glider deployment in Western Australia off Two Rocks (May 2012)

The dataset contains temperature, salinity and biological parameters, including dissolved oxygen and turbidity data, measured by a Slocum glider in the region of Two Rocks (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 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).

本数据集包含由Slocum滑翔机（Slocum glider）在西澳大利亚州双岩（Two Rocks）海域采集的温度、盐度及生物参数数据，其中涵盖溶解氧与浊度观测数据。自2008年6月起，海洋滑翔机设施（前身为澳大利亚国家海洋滑翔机设施（Australian National Facility for Ocean Gliders，缩写ANFOG））便已开展澳大利亚周边海域的Slocum滑翔机数据采集工作，且该数据采集项目仍在持续进行中。本数据集的数据来源于滑翔机搭载的成套观测仪器，具体包括：赛百德SBE41 CTD（conductivity, temperature, depth，电导率-温度-深度剖面仪）、WETLabs BBFL2SLO三参数光学传感器（用于测量叶绿素a、有色可溶性有机物（CDOM）以及700纳米后向散射信号），以及安德拉氧气光学传感器（oxygen optode，用于测定海水中的溶解氧浓度）。
