On the SmartBuoy, surface measurements of plant nutrient concentrations are
derived from two instruments. The NAS-3X in-situ nutrient analyser takes
hourly measurements of nitrate concentration, while lower frequency (daily)
measurements of nitrate and silicate concentration are derived from laboratory
analysis of water samples collected and preserved by the WMS-2 water sampler.
An estimate of phytoplankton concentration (biomass) is obtained twice per
hour using a fluorometer measuring chlorophyll fluorescence. To aid
interpretation of these data, SmartBuoy also takes measurements of
conductivity, temperature, suspended sediment concentration, light penetration
with the ESM2 logger. Data are telemetered every two hours using ORBCOMM
satellite telemetry.
The Noordwijk 10 SmartBuoy is located at 52.301 N, 4.303 E. It started logging
in September 2001 and finished in September 2001.

dataset
These deployments form part of the National Marine Monitoring Programme (NMMP)
funded by the UK Government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural
Affairs (Defra). Buoys have also been deployed as part of short term (up to 3
years) research contracts. Data have been collected using data buoys since
November 2000 at a variety of locations in the North Sea, Irish Sea and Celtic
Sea. Data are QA'd and archived at Cefas according to a defined SOP.
