Summary
Description
CREWS Enhanced (CREWS-ENH) buoys are equipped to measure sea surface water temperature and conductivity (Sea-Bird Model SBE37-SM, Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc., www.seabird.com); PAR, UV305 nm, UV330 nm and UV380 nm (Biospherical BIC2104U) at 1 m (nominal) below the water line and air temperature (R.M Young Model 41342); barometric pressure (Heise DXD); wind vectors (Vaisala WAS425A); PAR, UV305 nm, UV330 nm and UV380 nm (Biospherical BIC2104R) at 2 m (nominal) above the water line. A compass (KVH C100 SE-25) is used in the calculation of wind direction and a GPS system provides geolocation. This metadata record refers to a supplemental sea surface temperature recorder (Sea-Bird Model SBE39, Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc., www.seabird.com) mounted on the CREWS buoy subsurface arm. When a CREWS buoy is recovered, another one is typically deployed in the same place. Time series data combining multiple deployments from a given site may also be available.
