Svinoy transect oxygen and dissolved inorganic carbon
We report on a pilot study using a CO2 optode deployed on a Seaglider in the Norwegian Sea for 8 months (March to October 2014). The optode measurements required drift- and lag-correction, and in situ calibration using discrete water samples collected in the vicinity. We found the optode signal corr...
