Animate - Atlantic Network of Interdisciplinary Moorings and Time-series for Europe - Sensors

In April 2008 the ANIMATE network Observatories became part of the EuroSITES European Ocean Observatory Network.
Data shown here and subsequent data are available through the EuroSITES website www.eurosites.info
The ANIMATE site will not be updated further.

Deployment	CIS	ESTOC	PAP
1 Cruise Serial No	P293/2 Aug 2002 H2020341 Calibrated Chl(ug/l)=95.106*fl676+0.0507 R²=0.8069 Data and sensor lost June 2003	M53/1b April 2002 H2020340 No initial calibration. Different sensor mount to PAP and CIS. Mooring broke May 2002. 250 days data downloaded. Some –ve values from day 13 and some noise (not seen in lab investigations)	D266 Sept 2002 H2020343 Calibrated Chl(ug/l)=311.63*fl676+0.004 R²=0.96 -ve on calibration dip, noise and slight hysteresis Heavy deposits on emitter/detector so data unreliable
2 Cruise Serial No	P302 Aug 2003 H2020342 Calibrated on PAP2 Chl (ug/l)=59.431 *fl676+0.0102 R²=0.8751 No long term data	P296 April 2003 H2020340 Calibrated Chl(ug/l)=699.45*fl676+0.0052 R²=0.88 Chl analysed ICCM. HS2 Good data	P300/1 July 2003 H2020343 Redeployed (Cu oxide scraped off, gap reset) Calibration for unit H2020342 on P300/1, but not for H2020343.10 months good data downloaded, some –ve values.
3 Cruise Serial No	Not deployed	P305 Oct 2003 H2020340 Calibrated Chl(ug/l)=1009.9*fl676+0.0709 R²=0.6051 Chl analysed ICCM. HS2 Good data.	P306 Nov 2003 H2020343 Calibrated Chl(ug/l)=314.2246 * fl676 - 0.0072 R²=0.9855 5 months good data
4 Cruise Serial No	CD161 Sept 2004 Wet Labs FLNTUSB-179 2 stage calibration: Flu=(0.0127 (signal-55); Chl(ug/l) = (0.4259Flu)+ 0.1434 R²=0.9663	P310 April 2004 H2020340 Battery pack not working	CD158 June 2004 H2020343 Calibrated Chl(ug/l)=(280.92 * fl676) + 0.109 R²=0.941
5	November 2005 WETLabs FLNTUSB-270 Unit ran from 17-Sep-2005 to 19-Nov-2005 then failed, found to be flooded on recovery.	P319 Dec 2004 H2020342 Calibrated Chl(ug/l)=393.01*fl676+0.0143 R²=0.9682 Chl analysed ICCM. HS2	D295t July 2005 FLNTUSB 237
6	D309 Aug 2006 FLNTUSB 268 Calibrated at PAP D295t Calibrated Chl (ug/l) = 0.241sensor chl +0.0827 R²= 0.8344 Corrected calibration at CIS Chl (ug/l) = (0.7531 Corrected Chl_signal) + -0.0211 R²= 0.9845	P320 Mar 2005 H2020340 Calibrated Chl (ug/l)=(290.94*fl676)+0.1005 R²=0.4245 HS2	D306 July 2006 Sensor package not deployed due to fishing risk
7	MSM05/4 July 2007 FLNTUSB 515	P330 Nov 2005	CE07/16 FLNTUSB 270 Mooring failed after one month, but sensors recovered
8		P333 March 2006 FLNTUSB 238 deployed but did not record any data
9		P344-2 Nov 20065 WetLAB 238 FLNTUSB_Chl (ug/l) = 0.0123(chlorophyll_signal-53) Chl (ug/l)= 0.2981 FLNTUSB_Chl + 0.2123 R²=0.92
10		MSM05/4 March 2007 FLTNTUSB 179 failed on calibration dip
11		Unknown
12		P365/1 Recovered Sensors and removed DOLAN
