IMOS - Ocean Gliders - Slocum glider deployment in Western Australia off the coast of Kimberley (November - December 2011)

Oxygen Particulate matter Dissolved Organic Carbon Sea Surface Salinity Sea Surface Temperature Surface Currents Phytoplankton biomass and diversity

The dataset contains temperature, salinity and biological parameters including dissolved oxygen 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.
