Bio-optical spar data Dataset Description: <p>Bio-optical spar buoy data collected from the UCSB SPAR buoy configured with ECO-FLNTU Chlorophyll a and Optical Backscatter sensors. Data from both sensor types (chl a and optical backscatter) were compared with data from other sensors measuring similar data and the offsets were determined to be unacceptably large, combined with too short a sampling interval. Therefore, the data will not be published.</p>
<p>A schematic of the UCSB SPAR buoy configuration (as deployed during OC404-1 cruise) is available as a <a href="http://ocb.whoi.edu/EDDIES/PI-NOTES/orig_data/UCSB_SPAR_buoy/UCSB_Buoy1.pdf">PDF file</a>.</p> Methods and Sampling: <p>Please refer to descriptions for each cruise (deployment). </p>

Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry

Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry
The Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) program focuses on the ocean's role as a component of the global Earth system, bringing together research in geochemistry, ocean physics, and ecology that inform on and advance our understanding of ocean biogeochemistry. The overall program goals are to promote, plan, and coordinate collaborative, multidisciplinary research opportunities within the U.S. research community and with international partners. Important OCB-related activities currently include: the Ocean Carbon and Climate Change (OCCC) and the North American Carbon Program (NACP); U.S. contributions to IMBER, SOLAS, CARBOOCEAN; and numerous U.S. single-investigator and medium-size research projects funded by U.S. federal agencies including NASA, NOAA, and NSF.
The scientific mission of OCB is to study the evolving role of the ocean in the global carbon cycle, in the face of environmental variability and change through studies of marine biogeochemical cycles and associated ecosystems.
The overarching OCB science themes include improved understanding and prediction of: 1) oceanic uptake and release of atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases and 2) environmental sensitivities of biogeochemical cycles, marine ecosystems, and interactions between the two.
The OCB Research Priorities (updated January 2012) include: ocean acidification; terrestrial/coastal carbon fluxes and exchanges; climate sensitivities of and change in ecosystem structure and associated impacts on biogeochemical cycles; mesopelagic ecological and biogeochemical interactions; benthic-pelagic feedbacks on biogeochemical cycles; ocean carbon uptake and storage; and expanding low-oxygen conditions in the coastal and open oceans.

Eddies Dynamics, Mixing, Export, and Species composition
http://science.whoi.edu/users/olga/eddies/EDDIES_Project.html
Eddies Dynamics, Mixing, Export, and Species composition
<p>The original title of this project from the NSF award is: Collaborative Research: Impacts of Eddies and Mixing on Plankton Community Structure and Biogeochemical Cycling in the Sargasso Sea".</p>
<p>Prior results have documented eddy-driven transport of nutrients into the euphotic zone and the associated accumulation of chlorophyll. However, several key aspects of mesoscale upwelling events remain unresolved by the extant database, including: (1) phytoplankton physiological response, (2) changes in community structure, (3) impact on export out of the euphotic zone, (4) rates of mixing between the surface mixed layer and the base of the euphotic zone, and (5) implications for biogeochemistry and differential cycling of carbon and associated bioactive elements. This leads to the following hypotheses concerning the complex, non-linear biological regulation of elemental cycling in the ocean:</p>
<p>H1: Eddy-induced upwelling, in combination with diapycnal mixing in the upper ocean, introduces new nutrients into the euphotic zone.</p>
<p>H2: The increase in inorganic nutrients stimulates a physiological response within the phytoplankton community.</p>
<p>H3: Differing physiological responses of the various species bring about a shift in community structure.</p>
<p>H4: Changes in community structure lead to increases in export from, and changes in biogeochemical cycling within, the upper ocean.</p>

ECO-FLNTU Chl a and Optical Backscatter sensors were compared to the Oceanus
CTD fluorometer during a comparison cast (oc404-4 053) during EDDIES 2004
Survey 2. Using the factory Chl a slope values, yielded Chl a values that
were about twice that of the CTD fluorometer. The comparison of the
extracted Chl a and Phae a samples to the CTD fluorometer also showed the
CTD fluorometer to be reading too low. Therefore, the ECO-FLNTU readings
of all 3 profiles were matched with corrected CTD fluorometer values rather
than factory calibrated CTD fluorometer values for oc404-4 053. There was
significant differences in the Chl offset count for all 3 ECO-FLNTU sensors.
The ECO-FL sensor failed to log during the comparison cast, so no adjustment
to the factory calibration factors could be determined for this sensor.
The Optical Backscatter channel of the ECO-FLNTU was too insensitive for
optimal use in these clean waters.
Therefore these data are not reported in the final report.

from Cruise: OC415-01 <h4>Details of the UCSB Spar buoy deployed during EDDIES 2005 Survey 1.</h4>
<p>The Spar buoy was deployed at the center of eddy A4 just before ending
science work and heading for Bermuda. It was intended to stay deployed
throughout the Tracer 1 cruise and to be recovered early in Survey 2 cruise.
However, due to the threat of Tropical Storm Franklin bearing down on the area,
the Tracer people pulled the array prior to leaving the area. Some instruments
were stopped, or made safe by the Oceanus Science Tech, and data was downloaded
at the start of Survey 2. It was determined that the ECO-FL sensor had jammed
just prior to deployment. Therefore, no Chl a data was obtained at 80 meters.
</p>
<h4>Calibration of instruments:</h4>
<p>SBE-39s and SBE-37 were calibrated by SeaBird. </p>
<p>Between the EDDIES 2004 and 2005 deployments, the ECO-FLNTU units were
returned to WETLabs and the sensitivity greatly increased in both the Chl a and
Optical Backscatter channels. The borrowed ECO-FL unit did not have the
sensitivity changed. </p>
<p>ECO-FLNTU Chl a and Optical Backscatter sensors were compared to the Oceanus
CTD fluorometer during a comparison cast (oc415-1 062) during EDDIES 2005 Survey
1. The ECO-FLNTU and ECO-FL readings of all 4 time records were matched with
the new WETLabs CTD fluorometer factory calibration values for the cast. There
was significant differences in the Chl offset count for all 4 ECO sensors. One
of the 4 ECO Chl a factory calibration slopes agreed well with the new CTD
fluorometer (calibrated also by WETLabs) but the other 3 sensor chl calibrations
were off by +32%, +46%, and -44%. Without determining this matchup of
sensitivities, the mooring data would have been very misleading.
</p>
<p>If the comparison of the extracted Chl a and Phaeo a descrete samples against
the new CTD fluorometer readings determine that it is reading significantly
different from reality, the moored data can be adjusted by using the same
scaling factor being applied to the CTD data. </p>
<p>The Optical Backscatter channel of the ECO-FLNTU was more sensitive, but
still showed mostly noise and sudden shifts that were unrelated to changes in
Chl fluorescence. Therefore the data are not reported in our report.
