OceanHackWeek analysis of biogeochemical data from multiple sources in the Southern Ocean
Our motivating goals: *Spatial and temporal alignment of data *Learning about new-to-us datasets, and combining those with datasets we have previously worked with *Assimilating BGC data into a common framework (i.e. for assimilation into models) *Merging biological and physical data *Some are Southern Ocean people, others interested taking these lessons eventually to other regions
What we hope to accomplish:
-
OOI data: What data streams are there for physical (T, S, meteorology) and biogeochemical parameters (pH, pCO2, oxygen, nitrate, chlorophyll) and when were those sensors working?
-
Argo data: When and where are there Argo float profiles in the viscinity of the OOI array, and what subset have biogeochemical data (SOCCOM floats)? --> Multiple ways to access Argo data (either full T/S dataset, or just SOCCOM data)
-
Remote sensing: Also bring in regional satellite data for temperature, chlorophyll, SSH, etc.
-
Merge OOI, Argo, and remote sensing data that match in space/time
