Argo Float Vertical Profiles

Summary:
Argo float vertical profiles from Coriolis Global Data Assembly Centres
(GDAC). Argo is an international collaboration that collects high-quality
temperature and salinity profiles from the upper 2000m of the ice-free
global ocean and currents from intermediate depths. The data come from
battery-powered autonomous floats that spend most of their life drifting
at depth where they are stabilised by being neutrally buoyant at the
"parking depth" pressure by having a density equal to the ambient pressure
and a compressibility that is less than that of sea water. At present there
are several models of profiling float used in Argo. All work in a similar
fashion but differ somewhat in their design characteristics. At typically
10-day intervals, the floats pump fluid into an external bladder and rise
to the surface over about 6 hours while measuring temperature and salinity.
Satellites or GPS determine the position of the floats when they surface,
and the floats transmit their data to the satellites. The bladder then
deflates and the float returns to its original density and sinks to drift
until the cycle is repeated. Floats are designed to make about 150 such
cycles.

EMSO - South Rockall Trough Subsurface Deepwater Mooring Time-Series (October 2018 - May 2023) - CTD Data

Summary:
This dataset contains raw water temperature, conductivity (derived salinity) and pressure data from CTD instruments from a succession of deep water moorings deployed at a site (15.52 degrees West, 52.999 degrees North) in the South Rockall Trough close to the M6 met-ocean buoy. The sub-surface moorings consisted of an array of 10 Sea-Bird SBE 37 CTD sensors at a series of fixed depths below the surface (500m, 625m, 750m, 1000m, 1250m, 1500m, 1750m, 2000m, 2500m, 3000m). The CTD sensors were fully calibrated by Sea-Bird in Germany both pre and post deployment. Additional sensors on the mooring include ADCP sensors to measure ocean currents and direction. This dataset combines the measurements from the pilot EMSO ERIC sub-surface mooring deployment from October 2018 to May 2019 and April 2020 to June 2021 into a non-continuous time-series. Subsequent mooring retrieval/deployment activities have taken place on an annual basis in June 2021, April 2022 and May 2023 have provided continuous coverage. Combining the data from these mooring deployments builds long-term time series data to monitor ocean climate which is vital in understanding the likely impact of future ocean climate scenarios on key marine sectors as well as understanding possible impacts on North East Atlantic Ocean ecosystems. Water masses have recognisable properties of temperature, salinity, oxygen and nutrients, unless they are modified significantly by mixing with other water masses. Several different water mass types are found in the south Rockall Trough, such as Labrador Sea Water, which travels from the western Atlantic, Mediterranean Overflow Water and Subarctic Intermediate Water. Deployment of subsequent moorings and CTD sensors help provide a time series of data that can reveal information about seasonal variations in the water and ocean circulation as well as advancing our understanding of key environmental processes in the North Eastern Atlantic Ocean. These mooring deployments complement an annual Marine Institute oceanographic survey to the South Rockall Trough taking place since 2004. This site was recognised as an official EMSO Regional Facility from September 2023.

Mace Head Met-Ocean Buoy - NRT Data - all sensors

Summary:
The COMPASS buoy is located 2 km offshore from the Mace Head atmospheric research station in Connemara, County Galway. Initially installed in May 2018, sensors have been deployed for the measurement of Temperature, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, Nitrate, pH, and pCO2. In addition, an Airmar weather station was installed for measuring wind speed and direction, air temperature, and atmospheric pressure at this site. This work was facilitated by the INTERREG funded project COMPASS - Collaborative Oceanography and Monitoring for Protected Areas and Species. One of the key objectives of the COMPASS project is the establishment of a buoy network for measuring oceanographic parameters, including parameters for measuring ocean acidification. Data telemetry: Measurements are taken every 30 minutes and data is transmitted every 12 hours to the Marine Institute Headquarters in Rinville, Galway. Disclaimer: These data are real-time (GMT) and raw - they have not yet been through the full quality checking procedures. There may be short term data gaps caused by maintenance, re-deployments, or technical difficulties. Deliver the first fully coherent network of monitoring buoys across the regional seas of the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and West Scotland. Integrating the longest continuously maintained oceanographic monitoring stations in Europe within a network of new buoys equipped with oceanographic sensors, acoustic recorders and advanced fish tracking technology. This project will build cross-border capacity for effective monitoring and management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The project will develop long-term monitoring strategies for highly mobile protected species such as marine mammals and salmonids, and provide essential infrastructure for baseline oceanographic and ambient noise monitoring. The development of observational and data management capabilities across the region will be complemented by the delivery of three truly regional scale environmental models, designed to support the management of a cross-border MPA network. A ?6.28million project supported by the European Union's INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).

SmartBay Observatory ADCP data

Summary:
The SmartBay Observatory in Galway Bay is an underwater observatory which uses cameras, probes
and sensors to permit continuous and remote live underwater monitoring. It was installed in 2015 on the seafloor 1.5km off the coast of
Spiddal, Co. Galway, Ireland at a depth of 20-25m. Underwater observatories allow ocean researchers unique real-time access to monitor
ongoing changes in the marine environment. The Galway Bay Observatory is an important contribution by Ireland to the growing global
network of real-time data capture systems deployed in the ocean. Data relating to the marine environment at the Galway Observatory site is
transferred in real-time through a fibre optic telecommunications cable to the Marine Institute headquarters and then made publically
available on the internet. The data includes a live video stream, the depth of the observatory node, the water temperature and salinity,
and estimates of the chlorophyll and turbidity levels in the water which give an indication of the volume of phytoplankton and other
particles, such as sediment, in the water. Maintenance take place on the observatory every 18 to 24 months. A Teledyne RDI Workhorse
Broadband 600KHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP ) is mounted on the observatory infrastructure. It is approximately two metres
above the seabed, looking up towards the sea surface. Data are collected every minute for 1.0m depth bins from approx. 1 metre above the
instrument to the surface. Data are collected in RDI's PD0 binary format (more information is available from the link:
http://spiddal.marine.ie/data.html#adcp). The .PD0 raw files are processed as they are collected and the real time values for the Near
Surface and Mid Water Current Speeds and Directions are extracted. The extracted values are displayed in near-real-time on
smartbay.marine.ie. The processed data is also provided via an ERDDAP data server allowing the data to be downloaded in a range of open
formats. The sensor is deployed on the EMSO Smartbay Cable End Equipment Node in Galway Bay in approx. 25m depth of water.

(Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) and Oxygen Dataset comprises of the raw data that is collected from the
Galway Observatory site using an Idronaut Ocean-Seven 304 plus Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) sensor
probe. The sensor measures the temperature and conductivity of the seawater. The conductivity is used to
calculate an estimate of the salinity. The pressure exerted by the seawater above is used to calculate the depth
of the sensor, and these parameters are also used to estimate the speed of sound within the sea. The Ocean-Seven
304 Plus CTD has also been equipped with a polarographic IDRONAUT dissolved oxygen sensor which measure the
dissolved oxygen concentration of the seawater. The sensor is deployed on the EMSO Smartbay Cable End Equipment
Node in Galway Bay in approx. 25m depth of water.
