This file contains data from the Saildrone Inc. Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) (i.e., \"saildrone\") core MetOcean sensors for the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2023 Mission (Mission 6) to the central tropical Pacific along the 155°W meridian, west along the equator, and returning north roughly along the 170°W meridian. This mission was funded by NOAA OMAO UxSOC and the UMS 2022 project to implement the Research to Operations - Component Service Transition Plan Volume 1-C \"Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USV) integrated within the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)\". This TPOS-2023 mission, focused on observing air-sea interaction processes and CO2 fluxes associated with the developing 2023 El Nino, an equatorial upwelling experiment near 0°N 153.5°W, a comparison with R/V Antea near 0°N 166°W, and several National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoy flybys. A pre-mission comparison against the WHOTS mooring was also conducted from May 30 - June 2, 2023. The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (UW CICOES)), Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Samantha Wills (UW/CICOES), Dr. Réka Domokos (NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Ecosystem Services Division (ESD)), Karen Grissom (NOAA NDBC), Eugene Burger (NOAA PMEL), Yolande Serra (UW CICOES), Dr. Arun Kumar (NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)), Dr. Jack Reeves Eyre (NOAA NCEP and ERT), and Jieshun Zhu (NOAA NCEP). Mr. Nathan Anderson (UW CICOES) contributed to the metadata creation. The PMEL TPOS 2023 Mission (aka Mission 6) had three Saildrones: SD1030, SD1033, and SD1079. All were standard Gen 6 drones with the core MetOcean package and an ASVCO2 Gen2 carbon flux system. SD1030 and SD1033 were equipped with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) at 1.86m (not included in this file) and SD1079 with an EK80 echo sounder. The collaboration with NMFS facilitated the addition of the echo sounder to explore the value of combining physical and fish biomass surveys of the Pacific Islands Regions, with the collaboration's goal of connecting the life cycle with the energy, water, and carbon cycles to improve ecosystem forecasts within Earth system models. The core Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) sensor was an SBE 37-SMP at 1.7m, and a temperature logger RBR Coda^3 T at 0.5m, with 3x PMEL-provided self-logging SBE56 Temperature sensors at 0.355m, 0.775m, and 1.155m. All drones had a PMEL-provided SPN1 shielded shortwave radiometer and a Kipp and Zonen longwave radiometer. Carbon system data (including the CTD data) are served through a separate file. EK80 data will also be provided as a separate file. The vehicles for the 2023 mission were deployed out of Honolulu, HI in June 2023, arriving on station (near 18°N 155°W) to initiate the mission on 22 June 2023. The 120-day mission was extended to 05 Nov 2023, because SD1030 went off-mission early (12 Sept 2023) due to navigational issues.\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\ntime (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\n...

Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV), aka \"saildrone\", core MetOcean sensors for the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2022 Mission (Mission 5) to the eastern tropical Pacific along the 125W meridian. This mission was funded by NOAA/OMAO as a demonstration project to test saildrone as a research and operational platform for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS). The mission focused on observing air-sea interaction processes and CO2 fluxes associated with the predicted rare 3rd consecutive La Niña, Tropical Instability Waves, and high frequency eddy and frontal variability between the Equatorial Cold Tongue and the Intertropical Convergence Zone. The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA/PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (UW/CICOES)), Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA/PMEL), and Mr. Christian Meinig (NOAA/PMEL). Dr. Samantha Wills (UW/CICOES) was a research scientist with the project, acting as a co-PI and Mission Manager during this mission. Mr. Nathan Anderson (UW/CICOES) contributed to the metadata creation. The PMEL TPOS 2022 Mission (aka Mission 5) had two Saildrones: SD1033 and SD1052.

The vehicles for the 2021 mission were deployed out of San Francisco Bay, CA on 23 July 2021, transiting to the eastern tropical Pacific, where they spent 160 days collecting data. The drones encountered rough seas associated with Tropical Depression Marty, forcing them into \"storm mode\" for several days before entering the hurricane genesis study region. The drones then proceeded south along the 110W Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) mooring line, completing two intercomparisons at the 8N, 110W and 5N, 110W TAO buoys. The drones also sampled the strong meridional Sea Surface Temperature (SST) front separating the warm waters of the northern hemisphere ITCZ from the cold waters of the equatorial Cold Tongue. The drones became separated en route to the equatorial study region due to strong easterly ocean currents, with SD1065 eventually crossing the Equator to survey the southern hemisphere \"double\" ITCZ regime.

This file contains data from the Saildrone Inc. Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) (i.e., \"saildrone\") core MetOcean sensors for the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2023 Mission (Mission 6) to the central tropical Pacific along the 155°W meridian, west along the equator, and returning north roughly along the 170°W meridian. This mission was funded by NOAA OMAO UxSOC and the UMS 2022 project to implement the Research to Operations - Component Service Transition Plan Volume 1-C \"Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USV) integrated within the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)\". This TPOS-2023 mission, focused on observing air-sea interaction processes and CO2 fluxes associated with the developing 2023 El Nino, an equatorial upwelling experiment near 0°N 153.5°W, a comparison with R/V Antea near 0°N 166°W, and several National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoy flybys. A pre-mission comparison against the WHOTS mooring was also conducted from May 30 - June 2, 2023. The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (UW CICOES)), Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Samantha Wills (UW/CICOES), Dr. Réka Domokos (NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Ecosystem Services Division (ESD)), Karen Grissom (NOAA NDBC), Eugene Burger (NOAA PMEL), Yolande Serra (UW CICOES), Dr. Arun Kumar (NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)), Dr. Jack Reeves Eyre (NOAA NCEP and ERT), and Jieshun Zhu (NOAA NCEP). Mr. Nathan Anderson (UW CICOES) contributed to the metadata creation. The PMEL TPOS 2023 Mission (aka Mission 6) had three Saildrones: SD1030, SD1033, and SD1079. All were standard Gen 6 drones with the core MetOcean package and an ASVCO2 Gen2 carbon flux system. SD1030 and SD1033 were equipped with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) at 1.86m (not included in this file) and SD1079 with an EK80 echo sounder. The collaboration with NMFS facilitated the addition of the echo sounder to explore the value of combining physical and fish biomass surveys of the Pacific Islands Regions, with the collaboration's goal of connecting the life cycle with the energy, water, and carbon cycles to improve ecosystem forecasts within Earth system models. The core Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) sensor was an SBE 37-SMP at 1.7m, and a temperature logger RBR Coda^3 T at 0.5m, with 3x PMEL-provided self-logging SBE56 Temperature sensors at 0.355m, 0.775m, and 1.155m. All drones had a PMEL-provided SPN1 shielded shortwave radiometer and a Kipp and Zonen longwave radiometer. Carbon system data (including the CTD data) are served through a separate file. EK80 data will also be provided as a separate file. The vehicles for the 2023 mission were deployed out of Honolulu, HI in June 2023, arriving on station (near 18°N 155°W) to initiate the mission on 22 June 2023. The 120-day mission was extended to 05 Nov 2023, because SD1030 went off-mission early (12 Sept 2023) due to navigational issues.\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\ntime (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\n...
