Data from the SMILE buoy in the Bay of Seine

Description
An instrumented buoy called SMILE was installed in the bay of Seine (English Channel - France) in June 2016. This project is conducted by the University of Caen (CREC – UMR CNRS BOREA) and IFREMER. Beside traditional high-frequency measurements performed in oceanography, a Fast Rate Fluorometer Act2 Chelsea Instrument, which allows estimating primary production of phytoplankton, was installed on the buoy. more

Several technical issues had to be solved to allow such type of measurements from a buoy. The energy supply was the most challenging. Some parameters are collected every 20 minutes (tempertaure, salinity, dissolved O2, turbidity, fluorescence, PAR) and others every two hours (P/E curves by using Fast Rate Fluorometer Act2 Chelsea Instrument). All data except photosynthetic parameters are available on line on Coriolis web site: http://data.coriolis-cotier.org/platform/6200310/2017-06-18T00:00:00.000Z/2017-07-18T00:00:00.000Z
