NOAA NWFSC West Coast Survey 2019 NRT Saildrone 1038

The 2019 West Coast Fisheries Survey combined the efforts of eight saildrones and research teams onboard the NOAA FSVs Bell M. Shimada and Reuben Lasker to survey the full length of the US West Coast from San Diego, CA, to Cape Flattery, WA. The mission was performed in partnership with NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC). The saildrones were all equipped with Simrad EK80 echo sounders in addition to the standard sensor suite. Four vehicles worked south to north with the Shimada collecting data on the abundance and distribution of Pacific hake. Three vehicles worked north to south with the Lasker and included sampling closer to shore and farther offshore than previous years. The goal was to collect data on target species in areas too shallow for the Lasker to safely navigate, as well as in offshore areas that have not been routinely surveyed to date. The mission was completed in 60 days and included more granular coverage near shore, to depths as shallow as seven meters, as well as transect extensions up to 140 nautical miles offshore.

RAMA (Indian Ocean, https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/gtmba/pmel-theme/indian-ocean-rama ), and
PIRATA (Atlantic Ocean, https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/gtmba/pirata/ )
arrays of moored buoys which transmit oceanographic and meteorological data to shore in real-time via the Argos satellite system.  These buoys are major components of the CLIVAR climate analysis project and the GOOS, GCOS, and GEOSS observing systems.  Daily averages are computed starting at 00:00Z and are assigned an observation 'time' of 12:00Z.  For more information, see

This file contains near-real time data from the Saildrone core MetOcean sensors for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2019 Mission ('Mission 3') to the central equatorial Pacific (0, 140W). These data have not been Quality Control (QC)'d. This was the third of three missions funded by NOAA/OAR/CPO/OOMD and NOAA/OMAO as a pilot study for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)-2020 project. The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Joint Institue for the Study of Atmoshere and Ocean (JISAO)), Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA PMEL), and Mr. Christian Meinig (NOAA PMEL). Dr. Samantha Wills (UW JISAO) was a postdoctoral fellow with the project, acting as a PI and Mission Manager during this mission. Mr. Nathan Anderson contributed to the metadata creation. PMEL TPOS 2019 Mission (aka Mission 3) had four Saildrones: SD1066, SD1067, SD1068 and SD1069. All were standard Gen 5 drones (but with copper paint), with standard wings, not the large wings used in Mission 2. All had an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (not included in this file) and the core MetOcean package. The core CTDs were an RBR in the flowthrough tunnel in the keel and a pumped SBE37 at the outflow of the flowthrough tunnel. In addition, SD1066 and SD1067 had ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system, a SPN1 shielded shortwave radiometer, and an Eppley longwave radiometer. Carbon system data (including its prawler Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) data) are served through a separate file. The vehicles were deployed out of Honolulu, HI on 9 June 2019. After performing ADCP bottom track testing on Penguin Bank, the drones proceeded to WHOTS for an intercomparison. On 17 June 2019, SD 1067 returned to shore for servicing. Following its ADCP bottom tracking tested again, on 20 June 2019 all 4 drones began their transit to the Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) mooring at 9N, 140W, and then south towards the equator. In addition to intercomparisons against the 0N, 140W TAO buoy, several experiments were performed to survey scales of variability in the equatorial region and the structure of the cold tongue front. An experiment in the InterTropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) was then performed before returning to Hawaii for a final intercomparison against the WHOTS mooring, a newly deployed PMEL test TELOS surface mooring and test PRAWLER mooring which carried a test Z-Cell ADCP on its bridal. The mission ended on December 20, 2019. All four Saildrones were recovered in Honolulu in early January 2020.
