Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry Sensor Data from Celtic Deep Lander

Seabed mooring data from east of the Celtic Deep. The dataset consists of biogeochemical sensor measurements, including temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, and turbidity, collected for 5 minutes every 30 minutes. Sensors were validated against in-situ samples and calibrated using standard materials.

Use Cases

• Modeling temporal patterns in dissolved oxygen based on the 5-minute sampling intervals.
• Analyzing correlations between chlorophyll fluorescence and turbidity for water quality assessment.
• Studying near-seabed biogeochemical processes based on sensor data mounted 1 meter above the seafloor.
• Validating satellite-derived ocean color products using in-situ chlorophyll fluorescence measurements.

Strengths

• Sensor data was validated against in-situ samples during deployment and recovery.
• Instruments were calibrated using standard materials like fluorosphere beads and Stabical.
• Data collection followed a consistent temporal protocol of 5 minutes every 30 minutes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
