Calibration for BGC sensors follows methods described in: Maurer, T.L., Plant, J.N. and K.S Johnson, 2021. Delayed-Mode Quality Control of Oxygen, Nitrate, and pH Data on SOCCOM Biogeochemical Profiling Floats. Front. Mar. Sci. 8:683207. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2021.683207 Johnson, K. S., J. N. Plant, L. J. Coletti, H. W. Jannasch, C. M. Sakamoto, S. C. Riser, D. D. Swift, N. L. Williams, E. Boss, N. Haentjens, L. D. Talley, and J. L. Sarmiento, 2017. Biogeochemical sensor performance in the SOCCOM profiling float array. J. Geophys. Res. Oceans, 122, 6416-6436. https://doi.org/10.1002/2017JC012838 Three different methods (LIAR, CANYON, MLR) are used in calculating TALK, DIC, and pCO2. These are referenced below. For a description of uncertainties associated with the derived carbon parameters see Williams, N. L., et al.

Cycles, 31, 591–604, ... : To develop a new observing system for carbon, nutrients, and oxygen that will complement and expand on the existing observing system for heat and freshwater, the observations team will deploy a large array (~200) of profiling floats with biogeochemical sensors throughout the Southern Ocean. This robotic float observing system will be complemented by shipboard measurements, instrument and sensor development, and data analysis, including state estimation in conjunction with the modeling program. Principal responsibility for development and deployment of the observing system will be in the hands of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Theme 1 Lead Lynne Talley), in partnership with the University of Washington (Co-Lead Steve Riser) and Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (Associate Director Ken Johnson), who together will design and build the floats and participate in analysis of the data. Deployment opportunities with international partners are an important component to the SOCCOM observational ...
