  3. Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry - Celtic Deep 2 Lander

Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry - Celtic Deep 2 Lander

Summary

This data set consists of biogeochemical sensor data from seabed moorings. The mooring consists of a 3 legged stainless steel "minilander" 1.5 meters high. The biogeochemical sensors are mounted at 1 meter above the seabed. Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity where fitted to a Cefas ESM2 data logger. These instruments gathered data for 5 minutes every 30 minutes. Sensors were validated against in-situ samples during deployment and recovery. Fluorometers were standardised using fluorosphere beads. Turbidity meters were calibrated using Stabical (Hach, US). These moorings were also fitted with upward facing acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP), this data is held by BODC.

Lineage

The data were collected as part of the Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry (SSB) research programme as part work package 2.SSB was co-funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The programme took a holistic approach to the cycling of nutrients and carbon and the controls on primary and secondary production in UK and European shelf seas, to increase understanding of these processes and their role in wider biogeochemical cycles.
