  6. Present parameters and recommendations for the management of DO data • Unit:  mol/kg • DOXY: DO concentration in  mol/kg either deduced from the sensor output or transmitted by the Aanderaa optode at Pres=0 and Psal=S0 (and converted from  mol/l to  mol/kg ). • DOXY_ADJUSTED: P, S compensation applied for the Aaanderaa optode when DO is transmitted • BPHASE_DOXY: BPHASE measured by the Aanderaa optode, when it is transmitted • TEMP_DOXY: Temperature measured by the Aanderaa otpode, when it is transmitted

  7. Management of the O2 data at the DAC level • Present parameters do not allow us to manage in a consistent way the O2-related variables (with different units) transmitted to the DAC • The data processing varies from one PI to the other and the data and metadata are reported in different ways • Unit conversion not systematically applied • Salinity and pressure compensation applied in the “ADJUSTED” field • The available DOXY from the different floats are not comparable and a user cannot use with confidence O2 data from other groups • Need to standardize procedures and to provide clear recommendations • Action item 14 from AST10 : D. Gilbert to work with T. Kobayashi and V. Thierry to ensure DACs are processing oxygen data according to recommendations. • We do not address QC issue

  8. Proposition for what could be DOXY • DOXY = DO concentration estimated from the telemetered variables, calibrations coefficients and CTD values: PRES, TEMP (or TEMP_DOXY) and PSAL • Pressure and salinity compensations (optode) are taken into account • Converted in the official Argo unit: mol/kg • DOXY_ADJUSTED is the DO concentration corrected for any sensor drift and offset. DOXY_ADJUSTED is calculated from the other “ADJUSTED” fields. • Calibration coefficients, equations and references used to convert the telemetered variables in DOXY must be carefully documented in the metadata

  9. What variables to store ? 1st solution • Store each telemetered variables in new parameters with meaningful names: • VOLTAGE_DOXY (Unit = V) for SBE43 • FREQUENCY_DOXY (Unit = Hz) for SBE43 • COUNTS_DOXY (no Unit ?) for SBE43 • BPHASE_DOXY (Unit = degree) for Aanderaa optode • DPHASE_DOXY (Unit = degree) for Aanderaa optode • CONCENT_DOXY (Unit = mol/l) for Aanderaa optode • TEMP_DOXY (Unit = degree Celsius) for Aanderaa optode • XXX_DOXY for any new variables • Calculate and store DOXY data from the telemetered variables and converted in in M/kg • DOXY (mol/kg)

  10. What variables to store ? 2nd solution • Store only DOXY data converted in a DO concentration value consistent with all other from whatever is transmitted by the floats and converted in M/kg : • DOXY (mol/kg) • Do not store anymore • BPHASE_DOXY (Unit = degree) for Aanderaa optode • TEMP_DOXY (Unit = degree Celsius) for Aanderaa optode • “DOXY_ADJUSTED” fields are corrected for any sensor drift or offset of the DO sensor

  11. Any other proposition ?

  12. Questions/remarks • Do we cover all cases ? • Is 256 character enough to document the processing of O2 data in the “PREDEPLOYMENT_XXX” fields of the metadata file ? • Need help to review the different cases and to provide advise on how to fill the metadata • A proposal has been written to provide all necessary information to the DAC. This proposal will be updated according to the agreed solution and provided to anyone interested.

  13. Metadata • Carefully document the telemetered variables in the metadata • Example for the aanderaa optode transmitting DO concentration in mol/L SENSOR_UNITS = “micromole/L” PARAMETER= “CONCENT_DOXY” PREDEPLOYMENT_CALIB_EQUATION = “O2=C0+C1.P+C2.P^2+C3.P^3+C4.P^4 with Ci=Ci0+Ci1.t+Ci2.t^2+Ci3.t^3 ; CONCENT_DOXY=O2 exp[ S (B0+B1.Ts+B2.Ts^2+B3.Ts^3)+C0S^2]; Ts=ln[(298.15-t)/(298.15+t)]; with P=DPHASE, t=TEMP_DOXY, S=S0” PREDEPLOYMENT_CALIB_COEFFICIENT = “S0=35” or “S0=0” PREDEPLOYMENT_CALIB_COMMENT = “CONCENT_DOXY is calculated by the optode from DPHASE, TEMP_DOXY, PRES=0 and S0; see TD218 operating manual oxygen optode 3830, 3835, 3930, 3975, 4130, 4175”

  14. Exemple: transmission of CONCENT_DOXY = DO concentration from optode at PRES=0 and PSAL=S0 • PARAMETER=”DOXY” • PREDEPLOYMENT_CALIB_EQUATION = “O2c= O2 exp[ (S-S0) (B0+B1Ts+B2Ts^2+B3Ts^3)+C0(S^2-S0^2)]; DO=O2c [1+ 0.032 * PRES/1000]; O2=CONCENT_DOXY; S=PSAL; Ts=ln[(298.15-t)/(298.15+t)]; t=TEMP (or TEMP_DOXY); DOXY[micromole/kg]=DO [micromole/L] / ρ ; ρ= potential density [kg/L] at zero pressure and potential temperature” • PREDEPLOYMENT_CALIB_COEFFICIENT = “S0=35 (or any other value); B0= -6.24097e-3; B1=-6.93498e-3; B2=-6.90358e-3; B3=-4.29155e-3” • PREDEPLOYMENT_CALIB_COMMENT = “Pressure and salinity compensation are estimated to convert CONCENT_DOXY in DOXY. DOXY is converted from micromole/L to micromole/kg; see TD218 operating manual oxygen optode 3830, 3835, 3930, 3975, 4130, 4175”
