Description

This dataset is comprised of individual files of eddy covariance time series data identified by the cruise id and an event number corresponding to the lander deployment. Eddy covariance fluxes and other parameters derived from these data are presented in a manuscript submitted to JGR-Oceans (Reimers and Fogaren).

This dataset will be updated in the future to include additional processed eddy covariance measurements from additional cruises. The future version of this dataset will combine data from ten repeat R/V Oceanus cruises on the central Oregon shelf that spanned December 2017 through July 2019.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

All data acquired with sensors mounted on a bottom lander ~30 cm above the seafloor unless noted otherwise.

Problems/Issues:
The temperature data were collected at lower frequencies and in the OC1901 Ev51 case processed with a 15 min moving average to interpolate to 8 Hz.

Instrument summary:

Nortek Vector ADV (yielded u, v, w, P, BSI).

Pyroscience fiber-optic oxygen sensors (OXB430) (yielded O2). The fiber-optic sensors were activated through PyroScience FireStingO2-Subport modules enclosed in Delrin housings with 12V to 5V power converter circuits produced and integrated by Rockland Scientific (Victoria, BC, Canada).

A new fiber-optic sensor was installed for each EC experiment, and it was calibrated in seawater solutions at 0 and 100% air saturation using FirestingO2 software, before and after each deployment. When processing EC data records the specific Firesting “pre” and “post” calibration parameters were applied with time-series inputs of temperature, salinity and pressure to convert the sensor measurements to two parallel O2 time-series in units of mmol L-1. Because it was observed that the fiber-optic sensor calibrations shifted gradually over time, independent reference measurements (from OOI data products or ship-based casts) were used to derive corrected fiber-optic time-series based on the fractions of pre- and post-calibration series needed to align with the reference measurements. For each deployment, four reference points were assigned, with calibration proportions extrapolated in between each reference point. Not surprisingly, these fractions shifted from mostly dependent on the “pre” calibration to dominantly the “post” calibration over the course of each deployment. Adjustments in mean concentration were generally about 10%.

Temperature records were extracted from the neighboring OOI Benthic Experimental Package CTD when at the 80 m station. Temperature records were measured with a recording CTD (SBE 37) during deployments at 30 m.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

In most cases temperature data were collected at lower frequencies and processed with a moving average to interpolate to 8 Hz.

Velocity and oxygen time-series were filtered to remove spikes (extreme data outliers) using a phase-space method adapted from Goring and Nikora [2002] whereby spikes are replaced with points based on a spline fit to adjacent data. These “cleaned” time series, together with coincident pressure measurements (P) made by the ADV were then reduced from 64 to 8 Hz by computing sequential eight-point averages.

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes (Data version 1):
* Combined submitted files into one data table adding columns for cruise_id and event from information in the file names.
* added site latitude and longitude for each event in the dataset(information submitted by email).
* Added ISO_DateTime_PT and ISO_DateTime_UTC in ISO 8601 format using the matlab DateNumber provided. Verified by checking the conversion in MATLAB using datestr().
* rounded decimals to five decimal places after confirming the precision with the data submitter.

Instruments

Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter

Supplied Name: Nortek Vector ADV

Supplied Description:

Nortek Vector ADV (yielded u, v, w, P, BSI).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter

Acronym: ADV

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/384/

Generic Description:

ADV is the acronym for acoustic doppler velocimeter. The ADV is a remote-sensing, three-dimensional velocity sensor. Its operation is based on the Doppler shift effect. The sensor can be deployed either as a moored instrument or attached to a still structure near the seabed.
