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”.

Deployment: 1

30% of the beam_attenuation values for this deployment are either fill values or outliers (+/- 5 SD), and 77% of optical_absorption values are fill values, outside of global ranges, or outliers.

Deployment: 2

In one of the deployment 2 recovered_host netcdf files (in the location attached), the wavelength dimension is an array of -9999999. The wavelength dimension in the other 2 files from that deployment is an index from 0-86.

Deployment: 3

Annotation ID 834 needs to be updated: "Deployment 3: Recovery of the mooring was planned during the NBP 17-09 cruise (Nov - Dec 2017) but not completed due to adverse weather conditions. Recovery options are pending. Instruments that are still operational are likely reaching (or have surpassed) their deployment lifespan."

Per vendor feedback, the first 1-2 min of each AC-S 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.

Deployment 3: *UPDATED 2020-04-28: This mooring was recovered 2018-12-09 which was a year later than originally intended. Some instruments were able to continue sampling for the extended deployment.* Recovery of the mooring was planned during the NBP 17-09 cruise (Nov - Dec 2017) but not completed due to adverse weather conditions. Recovery options are pending. Instruments that are still operational are likely reaching (or have surpassed) their deployment lifespan.

Deployment 4: The NSIF experienced power failure on 2/3/19 1800UTC and power was restored on 2/11/19 1200UTC. All NSIF instruments will have this gap in their telemetered data.
