This file contains data from the Saildrone, Inc. 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. Both were standard Gen 6 drones, with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) at 1.86m (not included in this file) and the core MetOcean package. The core Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) was an SBE 37-SMP at 1.7m, with an RBR Coda^3 T temperature sensor at 0.5m and 3x SBE56 T sensors at 0.33m, 0.5m on SD1052 (0.75m on SD1033), and 1.13m. Both SD1033 and SD1052 had an ASVCO2 Gen2 carbon flux system, an SPN1 shielded shortwave radiometer, and an Eppley longwave radiometer. The vehicles for the 2022 mission were deployed out of San Francisco Bay, CA in early May 2022, arriving on station to initiate the mission on 22 June 2022. The 90-day mission ended 22 Sept 2022.\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)\nSOG (Speed over ground, m s-1)\nSOG_FILTERED_MEAN (Speed over ground one minute mean, m s-1)\nSOG_FILTERED_STDDEV (Speed over ground one minute stddev, m s-1)\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...

This file contains data from the Saildrone Inc. Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV), aka \"saildrone\", core MetOcean sensors for the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2021 Mission (Mission 4) to the eastern tropical Pacific hurricane genesis region near 10N - 15N, 110W, the near-equatorial Cold Tongue region between 110W - 125W, and the region south of the equator where an Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) sometimes forms. This mission was funded in part by NOAA/OMAO and NOAA/National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) as a demonstration project to test saildrone as a research and operational platform for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS). The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA/PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang, and Dr. Samantha Wills (UW Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (UW/CICOES), Dr. Adrienne Sutton, Mr. Christian Meinig, and Eugene Burger (all NOAA/PMEL), Dr. Yolande Serra (UW/CICOES), Dr. Avichal Mehra (NOAA/NCEP/EMC), Karen Grissom (NOAA/National Data Buoy Center (NDBC)), and Dr. Eric Lindstrom (Saildrone, Inc). Dr. Meghan Cronin was the lead PI for the project. Drs. Samantha Wills and Dongxiao Zhang acted as Mission Managers during this mission. Mr. Nathan Anderson (UW/CICOES) contributed to the metadata creation. The PMEL TPOS 2021 Mission (aka Mission 4) had two Saildrones: SD1065 and SD1066. Both were standard Gen 6 Explorer drones, with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) at 1.86m (not included in this file) and the core MetOcean package. The core CTD was an SBE 37-SMP at 1.54m, with an auxiliary SBE prawler at 0.62m and 3x SBE56 T sensors at 0.33m, 0.5m, and 1.03m. Both SD1065 and SD1066 had an ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system, an 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 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. The mission ended in the field on 17 February, 2022, with SD1065 positioned near 8S, 117W and SD1066 positioned near 1N, 130W.\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\ntime (time in seconds, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\n...

This file contains near-real time data from the Saildrone core MetOcean sensors for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2019 Mission ('Mission 3') to the central equatorial Pacific (0, 140W). This was the third of three missions funded by NOAA/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). 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...

This was the third of three missions funded by NOAA/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). 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...

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...
