Bulk new term request, round 2

[mcuthill]

Attaching Excel sheet and documentation where unavailable online.
Side note: I like the new request template! It makes it much easier to pin down the granularity. Although the addition of the Modification field just set my 'map all our instruments' project back a few weeks, dang it...

@louatbodc - Thank you for the new terms! Regarding TOOL0834 with the existing term, our resident point-person for these devices found that the WETLabs ac-s in-situ spectrophotometer isn't completely identical to the Sea-Bird ac-s Spectral Absorption and Attenuation Sensor. According to him, the two instruments have slightly different wavelength ranges: the Sea-Bird has roughly 80 wavelength outputs and Outputs from 400 to 700 nm, while the Wet Labs one had 81 different wavelengths ranging from 400 to 756 nm.

This may be too minor a difference to warrant a different term, but we wanted to make sure it was taken into account when making the decision. Can you comment on this?

Hi @mcuthill

Thanks for this information. We'll look into it for you

Cheers

Hi @mcuthill,

I have checked the specification sheets by Wetlabs (https://www.bodc.ac.uk/data/documents/nodb/pdf/Wetlabs_ac-s_spectrophotometer_brochure.pdf) and Seabird (https://www.seabird.com/asset-get.download-en.jsa?id=54627862140) and they both quote exactly the same numbers and from what I can tell seem to be exactly the same instrument.
The only reference to the ACS having had 81 different wavelengths ranging from 400 to 756 nm: https://seabass.gsfc.nasa.gov/archive/URI/Mouw/LakeSuperior/LCCMR201507/documents/WetlabsACS_Mouw_2015.pdf which references the 2011 document, I think the one we have is from 2013, so I'm not sure if the specifications changed. Does your colleague have access to any official documentation that confirms the differences between the instruments?

Many thanks,
Roseanna

Hi @mcuthill

We are doing a tidy up of old tickets - I have also reviewed the above and the only other resource I can find referencing the 400 - 756 nm range is the following paper from 2021: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/rra.3771

However the official Sea-Bird/WET Labs documentation still only references a range of 400 - 730 nm. I am therefore closing this ticket, feel free to re-open it if further information comes to light shedding light on the discrepancy.

Best regards

Jordan
