This .zip archive contains Quality Controlled float data for biogeochemical profiling floats deployed by the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observation Modeling (SOCCOM) program. Data were processed SOCCOM management team at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). Certain early archives may contain additional University of Washington/MBARI outside array. FORMAT: The ascii files contained herein formatted to be compatible with View (ODV). ODV is freely available https://odv.awi.de/. In addition, a Matlab function has been provided in each parsing .txt into structures within (see get_FloatViz_data.m). Please note that this represent snapshot all MBARI as date listed file name. Therefore, aware processing updates (** AND THUS CHANGES TO THE DATA **) have occurred since time was created. For most up-to-date (processed every 4 hours), visit ftp://ftp.mbari.org/pub/SOCCOM/FloatVizData/ or http://www.mbari.org/science/upper-ocean-systems/chemical-sensor-group/floatviz/ ALTERNATE FORMATS: NetCDF Matlab Lynne Talley alternate formats, Matlab, text data. are file. format loaded structure, FloatViz, parameter names structure's fieldnames. similar ARGO Float its structure. names, however, match names. addition quality control flag strings profiles use, an array flags programming convenience. PARAMETERS: information pertaining identification, sensor arrays, parameters, please refer descriptions headers. Snapshots created after Jan 01, 2017 include estimated total alkalinity derived carbon parameters DIC pCO2 using one three algorithms (LIAR, MLR, CANYON). Floats without pH will not these their respective files. See headers details. Additionally, located urls above observed LIAR method. RESOLUTION: either low resolution high defined folder name: SOCCOM_LoResQC_ddmmmyyy SOCCOM_HiResQC_ddmmmyyyy. Note APEX floats, only report depths where sensors sample, while merge higher pressure, temperature salinity which sampled two meters upper 1000 meters. NAVIS except nitrate 2 m.
