recovered_host data aren't available for download from deployment 1. According to the ingest csv, the raw data files aren't expected. This dataset should be annotated to explain why the recovered_host data aren't available.

beam_attenuation and optical_absorption are arrays of fill values for deployments 2, 3 and 6.

wavelength_a and wavelength_c are arrays of fill values for deployments 7 and 8. These variables should contain the measurement wavelengths.

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

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”.

40%-43% of the beam_attenuation and optical_absorption values for this deployment are nans, fill values, outside of global ranges, or outliers (+/-5 SD).
