Station Papa oxygen - differences between ERDDAP and OOINet data

@cara.manning,

Thank you for reaching out. I see DOSTA data for both GP03FLMA and GP03FLMB in OOINet. If you search for “GP03FLM DOSTA” in the Data Catalog, you should see both listed, and data appears to be available for both.

In OOINet there are three dissolved oxygen data products:

  • DO (umol L-1)
  • DO - Pressure Temp Sal Corrected (umol kg-1)
  • DO - Temp Corrected (umol L-1)

The DOSTA instruments in these locations do not have any bio-fouling mitigation, so bio-fouling may be affecting the data over time (that has been noted in the annotations). We will have to look in more detail at the offsets and data gaps you indicated.

Also, the Station Papa moorings were not turned last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Station Papa cruise is occurring right now, so recovered data from mid-2019 to mid-2021 will be available soon.

Thanks and stay safe,
