This file contains near-real time data from the Saildrone core sensors for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2018 Mission (Mission 2) to the central equatorial Pacific (0, 140W). This was the second of three missions funded by NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)/CPO/OOMD and NOAA/OMAO as a pilot study for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)-2020 project. The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Joint Institue for the Study of Atmoshere and Ocean (JISAO)), Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA PMEL), and Mr. Christian Meinig (NOAA PMEL). Mr. Nathan Anderson contributed to the metadata creation. PMEL TPOS 2018 Mission (aka Mission 2) had four Saildrones: SD1005 and SD1006 were Gen 4 drones, and SD1029 and SD1030 were Gen 5 drones equipped with a larger wing designed for equatorial work. The drones were each equipped with full atmospheric and ocean core sensor suite, and an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (not included in this file). SD1029 & SD1030 also carried shortwave and longwave radiation (included in core set) and an ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system; these carbon data are served in a separate file. SD1029 had 3 strap-on SBE56 temperature sensors (at 0.35m, 1.16m, and 1.72m) to study the near-surface stratification. For the Gen5 drones, the core Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) was an RBR located in the flowthrough tunnel in the keel. The carbon system also had an independent prawler CTD that is higher quality than the RBR. The vehicles were deployed out of Honolulu, HI on October 3, 2018. After sailing near a PMEL Carbon mooring in Kaneohe Bay, HI, the drones proceeded to the Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) mooring at 9N, 140W. Three drones completed a circuit around the mooring, and then began their transit south towards the equator. Two drones made it to the equator and sailed near the TAO moorings at 0, 140W. Navigation issues caused the mission to be aborted early (mid-December 2018), before further science tasks could be completed. Three Saildrones were recovered in Honolulu on 01-27-19. SD1030 was recovered in HI later in the spring of 2019.\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\ntime (time in seconds, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\ntrajectory (Trajectory/Drone ID)\nlatitude_QC (quality flag, degrees_north)\n...

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...

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) Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) 2024 Mission (Mission 7) to the central tropical Pacific. The mission started on Oct 30, 2024 with a transect along the 125°W meridian from 10°N to 6°N, where the USVs then caught favorable currents to intercept the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Mixing belOw Tropical Instability waVEs (MOTIVE) cruise near 1°N 138°W. The MOTIVE cruise featured a drifting array of University of Washington (UW) Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) Wirewalkers and a UW profiling glider (glider PI: Katie Kohlman (UW School of Oceanography)), against which the Saildrones conducted a coordinated frontal study (Nov 22 - 26, 2024). For more information on the MOTIVE cruise, see https://www.polarsteps.com/AnnaAndTheWater/14669345-motive-cruise-i. An upwelling experiment and Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) intercomparison at 0°N 140°W was also performed (Dec 2 - 5) before the drones were swept westward by stronger-than-usual equatorial currents associated with the La Niña. Additional scientific objectives accomplished included observations of convective cold pool events, sharp fronts of submeso- and meso-scale processes within Tropical Instability Waves, and a return to the 140°W meridian leveraging North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) under the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). This mission was supported through the NOAA OMAO Uncrewed Systems Operation Center (UxSOC) funded project titled \"Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USV) integrated within the Tropical Pacific Observing System\", which follows the implementation strategy laid out by the Uncrewed Marine Systems (UMS) 2022 \"Research to Operations - Component Service Transition Plan Volume 1-C\". The PIs and mission managers were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (UW CICOES)), Dr. Yolande Serra (UW CICOES), and Dr. Elizabeth McGeorge (UW CICOES). Other PIs for this mission include: Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA PMEL) for ASVCO2 measurements, Eugene Burger (NOAA PMEL) for data stream issues, Dr. Réka Domokos (NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC)) for fisheries applications (note: there was no EK80 deployed during this mission), Ian Sears and Stephanie Ray (both at NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC)) for coordination with NDBC TPOS components, and Drs. Arun Kumar and Jieshun Zhu (both at NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)) for operational weather, climate and ocean applications. In addition to being part of the mission management team, Mr. Nathan Anderson worked with Ms. Ellen Koukel (both of UW CICOES) on the metadata creation and data archiving. The PMEL TPOS 2024 Mission (aka Mission 7) had two Saildrones: SD1033 and SD1090. Both were standard Gen 6 drones with the core MetOcean package and an ASVCO2 Gen2 carbon flux system. Both were equipped with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) at 1.86m (not included in this file). 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 nominally located at 0.33m, 0.75m, and 1.03m. All drones had a PMEL-provided SPN1 shielded shortwave radiometer and a Kipp and Zonen longwave radiometer (on a standalone data logger and processed separately). Carbon system data (including the CTD data) are also served through a separate file. The vehicles for the 2024 mission were deployed out of Alameda, CA, arriving on station (10°N 125°W) to initiate the mission on 30 Oct 2024. The 98-day mission was terminated 4 Feb 2025 after anemometers failed on both SD1090 (Jan 15) and SD1033 (Jan 18).\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\ntime (time in seconds, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\n...

Dr. Samantha Wills (UW JISAO) was a postdoctoral fellow with the project, acting as a PI and Mission Manager during this mission. Mr. Nathan Anderson contributed to the metadata creation. PMEL TPOS 2019 Mission (aka Mission 3) had four Saildrones: SD1066, SD1067, SD1068 and SD1069. All were standard Gen 5 drones (but with copper paint), with standard wings, not the large wings used in Mission 2. All had an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (not included in this file) and the core MetOcean package. The core CTDs were an RBR in the flowthrough tunnel in the keel and a pumped SBE37 at the outflow of the flowthrough tunnel. In addition, SD1066 and SD1067 had ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system, a SPN1 shielded shortwave radiometer, and an Eppley longwave radiometer. Carbon system data (including its prawler Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) data) are served through a separate file. The vehicles were deployed out of Honolulu, HI on 9 June 2019. After performing ADCP bottom track testing on Penguin Bank, the drones proceeded to WHOTS for an intercomparison. On 17 June 2019, SD 1067 returned to shore for servicing. Following its ADCP bottom tracking tested again, on 20 June 2019 all 4 drones began their transit to the Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) mooring at 9N, 140W, and then south towards the equator. In addition to intercomparisons against the 0N, 140W TAO buoy, several experiments were performed to survey scales of variability in the equatorial region and the structure of the cold tongue front. An experiment in the InterTropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) was then performed before returning to Hawaii for a final intercomparison against the WHOTS mooring, a newly deployed PMEL test TELOS surface mooring and test PRAWLER mooring which carried a test Z-Cell ADCP on its bridal. The mission ended on December 20, 2019.

Dr. Samantha Wills (UW JISAO) was a postdoctoral fellow with the project, acting as a PI and Mission Manager during this mission. Mr. Nathan Anderson contributed to the metadata creation. PMEL TPOS 2019 Mission (aka Mission 3) had four Saildrones: SD1066, SD1067, SD1068 and SD1069. All were standard Gen 5 drones (but with copper paint), with standard wings, not the large wings used in Mission 2. All had an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (not included in this file) and the core MetOcean package. The core CTDs were an RBR in the flowthrough tunnel in the keel and a pumped SBE37 at the outflow of the flowthrough tunnel. In addition, SD1066 and SD1067 had ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system, a SPN1 shielded shortwave radiometer, and an Eppley longwave radiometer. Carbon system data (including its prawler Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) data) are served through a separate file. The vehicles were deployed out of Honolulu, HI on 9 June 2019. After performing ADCP bottom track testing on Penguin Bank, the drones proceeded to WHOTS for an intercomparison. On 17 June 2019, SD 1067 returned to shore for servicing. Following its ADCP bottom tracking tested again, on 20 June 2019 all 4 drones began their transit to the Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) mooring at 9N, 140W, and then south towards the equator. In addition to intercomparisons against the 0N, 140W TAO buoy, several experiments were performed to survey scales of variability in the equatorial region and the structure of the cold tongue front. An experiment in the InterTropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) was then performed before returning to Hawaii for a final intercomparison against the WHOTS mooring, a newly deployed PMEL test TELOS surface mooring and test PRAWLER mooring which carried a test Z-Cell ADCP on its bridal. The mission ended on December 20, 2019. All four Saildrones were recovered in Honolulu in early January 2020.\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\ntime (time in seconds, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\n...
