attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Multiple deployments of two Sea-Bird Scientific Navis BGCi floats (numbers\nF033 and F034) equipped with CTDs, transmissometers, O2 optodes,\nbackscattering (700 nm), fluorescence (chlorophyll, colored dissolved organic\nmatter), and tilt sensors were conducted between July 2013 and November 2014\nin conjunction with Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study cruises. Short-term\ndeployments (1.5 \\u2013 3 days) followed by recovery of the floats were\nconducted during four monthly BATS cruises in July \\u2013 October 2013 and one\ncruise in March 2014. Both floats were deployed during the July and August\n2013 cruises and float F034 was deployed for the remaining cruises. Each float\ncollected one profile per cruise with the exception of the August 2013 cruise,\nduring which the two floats together collected 13 profiles. During short-term\ndeployments, floats first completed an initial descent and ascent without\nparking, then completed 1 or 2 more profile cycles with different, consecutive\ntarget depths. Following the initial descent/ascent described above, the\nshort-term profile cycles were structured as described below for long-term\ndeployments. In addition to the short-term cruise deployments, F033 profiled\ncontinuously from October 2013 until early April 2014, yielding 77 profiles,\nand F034 profiled continuously from March 2014 until late November 2014,\nyielding 139 profiles. During these long-term deployments, a typical cycle\nconsisted of 1) the descent to the target park depth, 2) a park phase at the\ntarget depth lasting 1.5 \\u2013 2.5 days during which measurements are made\nevery 15 minutes, 3) a descent to 1000 dbar, 4) an ascent to the surface\nduring which measurements are made, and 5) a surface telemetry phase, during\nwhich a GPS fix is obtained, data are uploaded via Iridium, and instructions\nfor the next cycle are downloaded. During long-term deployments, floats cycled\nthrough park phases at 150/200, 300, 500, and 1000 dbar every 7 days, spending\n2.5 days at 1000 dbar and 1.5 days at the shallower depths. The sequence of\npark phase depth at the three shallowest depths was varied between each 7-day\ncycle over a 21-day period to avoid aliasing in particle flux profiles.\n \nA float firmware error early in the project prevented collection of upper\nwater column data in some of the short-term deployments. This was remedied\nbefore long-term deployment of the floats commenced. The floats occasionally\nperformed a reboot during ascent profiles. The affected profiles are missing\ndata for some pressure bins. Colored dissolved organic matter data are not\navailable for float F034 profiles from cruises B295 and B296 due to sensor\nmalfunction.\n \nProfile data were acquired during the ascent to the surface following each\npark phase acquisition at a sampling rate of 4 dbar below 500 dbar and 2 dbar\nabove 500 dbar.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String RapAutParticleFlux
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Particles settling into the deep ocean remove carbon and biologically-important trace elements from sunlit, productive surface waters and from contact with the atmosphere over short timescales. A shifting balance among physical, chemical, and biological processes determines the ultimate fate of most particles at depths between 100 and 1,000 m, where fluxes are hardest to measure. Our challenge is to expand the number of particle flux observations in the critical \"twilight zone\", something that has proven elusive with ship-based “snapshots” that have lengths of, at most, a few weeks. Here, we propose an optical, transmissometer-based method to make particle flux observations from autonomous, biogeochemical profiling floats. Novel developments in data interpretation, sensor operation, and platform control now allow flux measurements at hourly resolution and give us observational access to the water-column processes driving particle flux over short timescales. The sensors and float platforms that we propose to use are simple, robust, and commercially-available, making them immediately compatible with community-scale efforts to implement other float-based biogeochemical measurements.\nWe have two main goals:  First, we will quantify particulate organic carbon (POC) flux using float-based optical measurements by validating our observations against fluxes measured directly with neutrally-buoyant, drifting sediment traps. Second, we will evaluate the contribution of rapid export events to total POC fluxes in the oligotrophic ocean by using a biogeochemical profiling float to collect nearly-continuous, depth-resolved flux measurements and coupled, water-column bio-optical profiles. \nTo achieve these goals, we will implement a work plan consisting of 1) a set of laboratory-based sensor calibration experiments to determine detection limits and evaluate sensitivity to particle size; 2) a series of four sediment trap and biogeochemical float co-deployments during which we will collect POC flux and field calibration data; and 3) a long-term sampling and analysis period (approximately 1 year) during which data will be returned by satellite from the biogeochemical float. We will conduct calibration fieldwork in conjunction with monthly Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) cruises, taking advantage of the timeseries measurements and the context provided by the 25-year record of POC flux at that site. The data returned by the float will comprise the first quantitative particle flux observations made at high-enough temporal resolution to interpret in the context of short-term, upper-ocean production events.

Particulate organic carbon flux derived from float-based optical sediment trap measurements was validated against fluxes measured directly with co-deployed, drifting neutrally-buoyant, sediment traps during a series of five short cruises before floats were deployed for approximately one year. The data returned by the floats comprise quantitative particle flux observations made at high-enough temporal resolution to interpret in the context of short-term, upper-ocean production events.

Dissolved oxygen concentration [umol/kg] was calculated and corrected for salinity and pressure effects according to the 2016 Argo recommendations for processing of dissolved oxygen data (Thierry et al. 2016). As per these recommendations, an initial pressure correction was made to the raw measured oxygen phase delay Phi [usec] according to Bittig et al. 2015:\n                  Phi adj = Phi raw + Pcoef1 * P / 1000\nwhere Pcoef1 = 0.115 usec and P [dbar] is the collocated SBE 41CP CTD pressure measurement. The adjusted oxygen phase delay [usec] was then converted to voltage by applying the factory conversion:\n                  V = Phiadj / 39.457071\nUncorrected dissolved oxygen concentration [mL/L] was calculated by applying the factory calibration:\n                  Oxygen_uncorr [mL/L] = {(A0 + A1*T + A2*V2) / (B0 + B1*V) - 1.0} / (C0 + C1*T + C2*T2)\nwhere T is SBE 63 temperature [deg C] and V is adjusted SBE 63 phase delay [V]. The oxygen calibration coefficients (A0, A1, A2, B0, B1, C0, C1, C2) are provided in Table 1. Dissolved oxygen concentration [mL/L] was then corrected for salinity and pressure effects according to the 2016 Argo recommendations.\n                  Oxygen_corr [mL/L] = Oxygenun corr [mL/L] * Scorr * Pcorr\nwhere\n                  Scorr = A(T,S,Spreset) * exp(S*(SolB0 + SolB1*Ts + SolB2*Ts2 + SolB3*Ts3) + SolC0*S2)\n                  A(T,S,Spreset) = (1013.25 - pH2O(T,Spreset)) / (1013.25 - pH2O(T,S))\n                  pH2O = 1013.25 * exp(D0 + D1*(100 / (T + 273.15)) + D2*ln((T + 273.15) / 100) + D3*S)\n                  Spreset = 0\n                  TS = ln [(298.15 - T) / (273.15 + T)]\nT and S are the collocated temperature and salinity measurements from the SBE 41CP CTD, respectively. Salinity correction coefficients are from Benson and Krause 1984 (SolB0 = -6.24523e-3, SolB1 = -7.37614e-3, SolB2 = -1.03410e-3, SolB3 = -8.17083e-3, SolC0 = -4.88682e-7) and pH2O coefficients are from Weiss and Price 1980 (D0 = 24.4543, D1 = -67.4509, D2 = -4.8489, D3 = -5.44e-4). The pressure correction factor Pcorr is calculated as outlined in Bittig et al. 2015 as\n                  Pcorr = 1 + (Pcoef2 * T + Pcoef3) * P / 1000\nwith Pcoef2 = 0.00022 and Pcoef3 = 0.0419. Dissolved oxygen concentration [mL/L] was converted to dissolved oxygen concentration [umol/kg]:\n                  Oxygen [umol/kg] = Oxygen [mL/L] * (44.6596 umol/mL) / (ρTheta/1000)\nwhere ρθ is the potential density of seawater [kg/m3] at zero pressure and the potential temperature calculated from collocated SBE 41CP CTD salinity, temperature, and pressure measurements using the pden function in the SEAWATER Matlab library (Morgan and Pender 1993). The value of 44.6596 umol/mL is derived from the molar volume of oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure, 22.3916 L/mole (e.g., García and Gordon 1992).\nSee https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/728371 for calibration coefficients.

Briefly chlorophyll fluorescence in deep water was assumed to originate entirely from a combination of the above factors the dependence of the measured chlorophyll fluorescence on CDOM was determined through linear regression and the regression parameters were used to correct the entire chlorophyll profile. Profiles shallower than 200 m were corrected using the regression parameters of the subsequent float profile.

attribute bbp700 bcodmo_name String bbp700
attribute bbp700 description String Particulate backscattering coefficient bbp (700nm); Acquired with WET Labs MCOMS Scattering Meter with 700-nm wavelength and in-water centroid angle of 150 deg. See Table 3 in paper.\nThe particulate volume scattering coefficient βp was calculated as\n                βp(150 deg,700 nm) [m-1 sr-1] = Scale Factor * (Output – Dark Counts)\nusing a factory-determined scale factor and a dark offset, computed separately for each sensor as the mean of the deep-water minima measured during all profiles between July and September 2013 at BATS (https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/728371). Particulate backscattering coefficient, bbp(λ) [m-1], is estimated as\n                bbp = 2πχβp(150 deg)\n                χ = 1.13 for 150 deg (from Boss and Pegau 2001).

attribute bbp700_corr bcodmo_name String bbp700
attribute bbp700_corr description String Corrected particulate backscattering coefficient bbp (700nm); Depth profiles of particulate backscattering coefficient bbp(700 nm) were despiked using a running median filter (Briggs et al. 2011). Due to the size of the median filter window the initial and final six data points in each profile could not be despiked and appear as NaN. Park phase bbp(700 nm) data were not despiked because they were collected at a nominally constant depth. Despiked profile phase bbp(700 nm) and raw park phase bbp(700 nm) were further corrected by a float-specific deep-water offset. The minimum bbp(700 nm) measured during the long-term deployments was determined for each float (-2.0488e-04 m-1 for F033; -1.1139e-04 m-1 for F034) and subtracted from the bbp(700 nm) values derived above.
