2017 Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS Saildrone Mission
This dataset contains the real time data from the Saildrone core sensors for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2017 Mission (Mission 1) to the eastern tropical Pacific (10N, 125W and 0, 125W). These data have not been Quality Control (QC). This was the first of three missions funded by NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)/CPO/GOMO and NOAA/OMAO as a pilot study for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)-2020 project. The PMEL TPOS 2017 Mission (aka Mission 1) had two Gen-4 Saildrones, each with a full atmospheric and ocean core sensor suite, an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), and an ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system. The two drones were deployed out of Alameda, CA on September 1, 2017, for a mission in the equatorial Pacific. After sailing near the CCE1 mooring off coastal California, the drones proceeded to the area near 10N, 125W. They remained in the area from October 18 - November 13, 2017, to participate in the Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study (SPURS)-2 field study, which included side-by-side data acquisition with a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) buoy, and the R/V REVELLE. When SPURS-2 ended, the drones sailed south on either side of 125W, stopping for comparisons against Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) moorings at 8N, 5N, and 2N. After crossing the equator, the drones returned to California. SD-1006 was recovered from San Francisco Bay on May 18, 2018.
