According to Roesler and Barnard (Optical proxy for phytoplankton biomass in the absence of photophysiology: Rethinking the absorption line height, Methods in Oceanography, 2013), “absorption meters are highly prone to biofouling, particularly biofilms which not only attenuate the collimated beam but also impact the scattering properties of the optical surfaces and tubes. In productive coastal waters biofouling can have significant impacts (i.e. 10% of the signal) within one to two weeks”.

There is no pressure variable in the .nc files. This should be a coordinate.

42%-57% of the optical_absorption values for deployments 2-4 are nans, fill values, outside of global ranges, or outliers (+/- 5 SD).

Per vendor feedback, the first 1-2 min of each OPTAA instrument sampling period should be considered suspect. Signal drift can occur as the instrument warms up, flushes with seawater, and the filter wheel spins up. Users are encouraged to delete the first minute of data, at a minimum, from each measurement burst and then calculate a median average of the remaining data from the burst before working further with the OPTAA data.

Immediately after deployment, power to the instrument indicated a short to seawater. Either the instrument has flooded or the cable(s) to the instrument or external pump have failed. No further data will be available from this instrument for this time period.

Due to a change in the program telemetry systems, data from this sensor will not be telemetered to shore. The data is still being collected and will be available upon mooring recovery.

Due to a bug in the mooring telemetry system, data during this time range was not telemetered to shore. It was recorded on the mooring and instruments and will be available in the recovered data streams.
