Brief description
'Ships of Opportunity' (SOOP) is a facility of the Australian 'Integrated Marine Observing System' (IMOS) project. This data set was collected by the SOOP sub-facility 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' aboard the RV Cape Ferguson Trip 5701.\nNotes
Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). IMOS is a national collaborative research infrastructure, supported by the Australian Government.
Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System (GBROOS), a geographic node of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS)
Lineage
All sensors are factory calibrated and then calibrated and serviced every six months. \nThe clocks on all instruments are set each night at mid-night from a central server which is turn has its clock set off an NTP server. Typical time drift in a day is a few seconds. \nThe clocks on all instruments are set each night at mid-night from a central server which is turn has its clock set off an NTP server. The location of all fixed equipment is recorded using a standard GPS so the accuracy should be within 5-10m using WGS-84. All mobile equipment has an on-board GPS and so should have equivalent accuracy although is will be around 10-20m due to the nature of the movement of the buoys.\n Instruments are replaced and serviced at regular intervals. There is a single metadata record for each research trip with the deployment details for each of the sensors that make up the underway sensor package described in the metadata record. Data are quality controlled by validating against a set of rules (bounds checking, etc) and then flagged using the IODE set of flags.\nModified: 20200713
