MARLEY (Monitoring deep-seA coRaL EcosYstems) is a deep seafloor observing system dedicated to the monitoring of cold-water coral habitats. The system is deployed in the Lampaul canyon off Brittany, France since August 2021 and maintained each year during the ChEReef-Obs cruises. The study site is a coral garden dominated by Madrepora oculata, located on a sedimented platform at 780 m depth. MARLEY is equipped with a CTD SBE 37-SIP, an oxygen optode Aanderaa (4330 or 4831), an ADCP Teledyne RDI Workhorse 300kHz, a turbidity sensor Wetlabs ECO NTU (sensitivity: 0-1000 NTU), a sediment trap Technicap PPS 4/3 – 24 bottles and a camera module. The camera module, which can be moved from up to 30 m from the main station, is equipped with a camera AXIS Q1786, two flash lights and a fluorometer & scattering meter SEA-BIRD ECO FLNTU. All sensors are controlled and synchronised by the Communication and Storage Front-end - 2nd generation (COSTOF2), which is also managing data storage. Optical sensors are protected from fouling by electrochlorination (20 seconds, each 6 hours). The oxygen optode is calibrated each year prior to deployment. These datasets provide raw data from the oxygen optode Aandera 4831, the CTD Seabird SBE37, the Wetlabs ECO NTU and the SEAR-BIRD ECO FLNTU covering the period 28/08/2021 to 19/01/2022, with a frequency of 15 minutes. Data from Wetlabs ECO NTU include raw counts and Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) derived from manufacturer’s calibration with Scale Factor = 0.0611 and Dark Counts = 50. Data form SEABIRD ECO FLNTU include raw counts at 695 nm (Chlorophyll) and 700 nm (Turbidity). Chlorophyll concentration (µg/l) is derived from manufacturer’s calibration with Scale Factor = 0.0180 and Dark Counts = 48. Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) is derived from manufacturer’s calibration with Scale Factor = 0.0481 and Dark Counts = 50.

The Green Edge project was designed to investigate the onset, life and fate of a phytoplankton spring bloom (PSB) in the Arctic Ocean. The lengthening of the ice-free period and the warming of seawater, amongst other factors, have induced major changes in arctic ocean biology over the last decades. Because the PSB is at the base of the Arctic Ocean food chain, it is crucial to understand how changes in the arctic environment will affect it. Green Edge was a large multidisciplinary collaborative project bringing researchers and technicians from 28 different institutions in seven countries, together aiming at understanding these changes and their impacts on the future. The fieldwork for the Green Edge project took place over two years (2015 and 2016) and was carried out from both an ice camp and a research vessel in the Baffin Bay, Canadian arctic. Here, we describe the data set obtained during the research cruise, which took place aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Amundsen in spring 2016.

Several sea trials with the newly developed CO2 Seaglider in the Gulf of Alaska and data evaluation with discrete water and underway samples suggest near ‘weather quality’ CO2 data as defined by the Global Ocean Acidification Network. This data set describes one such data set from the CO2 Seaglider, in February of 2023. Please see publication by the same authors at https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2024-1055.

The RESILIENCE experiment took place in April and May 2022 on the R/V Marion Dufresne in the Southwestern Indian Ocean, South of the Mozambique Chanel and offshore of Durban (South Africa). The main scientific objective was to study the interaction at fine scale (about 10km) between physics and biology. To do so CTD stations were performed accompanied by MVP profiles, measuring temperature, conductivity (hence salinity) and fluorescence. The MVP is performing profiles downward in a free-fall mode and upward, towed by a cable. This instrument is subject to many errors. Here we have first corrected the sensors offset between the CTD and MVP. Second, we have also corrected the thermistor viscous heating and the thermal lag between the thermistor and the conductivity cell. Third, we have corrected the thermal mass error on the lowering profiles. Only temperature and conductivity/salinity measurements are corrected.
