Requirements For MOOS Science Experiment

  1. General Requirements
    1. A website like that of CIMT/MTM
    2. A request for calibrated salinity instead of conductivity was made.
    3. A general comment was made how we should have something in place to notify data users that they need to acknowledge MBARI if data is used.
    4. Make sure ITD is OK with sharing images from camera and if 1 year embargo applies to that data.
  2. Instrument specific requirements
    1. MTM-4 Surface Node (SSDS ID 1446): There appear to be no real SSDS requirements for this. There is no XML defined for this
      1. Satlantic Radiometer (SSDS ID 1270): This is a binary instrument that needs special processing to do anything useful with. We have XML defined for it, but I suspect it is out of date. The XML simply states that the DataStream is binary.
      2. Triaxys directional wave sensor (SSDS ID 1286): This instrument has a fairly well behaved data structure. It does not appear that we have XML defined for this instrument, but we should. I know it has been deployed and we are generating plots for it for MTM-3 which has ID of 1339. Here is an example of a data record:
        $WC,81,060108,1640,13.37,6000,01020,3.33,,132,0,-0.230,0.000,1.700,0.00,28.6,0.00,249,75,4308
      3. Heave Sensor (is this the Triaxys above?)
        1. Unknown, assuming it will be just like plots on CIMT
      4. GPS (SSDS ID 1287): This is a standard GPS that we have been dealing with. We have XML defined, but we need an application that user's can configure a watch circle and set an alarm that will send an email if it goes outside the circle. Here is an example data record:
        $GPRMC,104538,A,3648.2007,N,12147.2515,W,000.0,329.4,291105,014.8,E * 6E
      5. ASIMET LWR (SSDS ID 1289): We have seen these instruments before. We don't have any XML in CVS for it, but it seems like we should. There might be a similar instrument on another deployment that we can take the XML from. Here is an example of the data record
        294.45 294.46 11614.4 11597.3 -74.0 425.0 33284 33438 32760
      6. Radiometer, Long-wave, ASIMET (is this the same as above?)
        1. Unknown, but assuming similar to post processing done on other mooring radiometers
      7. Radiometer, Short-wave, ASIMET (is this the same as above?)
        1. Unknown, but assuming similar to post processing done on other mooring radiometers
      8. ASIMET HRH (SSDS ID 1290): Again, one we have seen before, but no XML. We should have some elsewhere. Here is an example data record:
        40.634 21.746 : 38124 40892
      9. Relative Humidity - Air Temp., ASIMET (is this the same as above?)
        1. Unknown, but assuming it will be like current mooring ASIMETs
      10. ASIMET WND (SSDS ID 1291): Same, no XML, but we have instruments just like it. Here is an example of the data:
        0.00 0.00 0.0 0.0 0.0 147.8 333.2 -4.8 4.7
      11. Wind Speed/Direction, ASIMET (is this the same as above?)
        1. Unknown, but assuming it will be like current mooring ASIMETs
      12. Power Can (SSDS ID 1322): We have XML, but we need to see if anything has changed. A (large) example of the data (consult the data stream for more info):
        ADC00 A+1.5209e-04 N0000600 L+1.5260e-03 H-1.2208e-03 D-3.0520e-04 E0
        ADC01 A+1.8414e-04 N0000600 L+1.2208e-03 H-9.1560e-04 D-3.0520e-04 E0
        ADC02 A+7.8088e-02 N0000600 L+7.3778e-02 H+8.1754e-02 D+0.0000e+00 E0
      13. Load cell 0-10,000 lbs. version A (Bridle)
        1. Unknown, assuming it will be just like plots on CIMT
      14. P2 ADC
        1. Unknown, assuming it will be just like plots on CIMT
      15. Nitrate Analyzer, ISUS
        1. Assuming that Luke will be creating (or adding to the current) ISUS page for this, we will just link to it.
      16. CTD (SBE 37SM)
        1. Unknown
      17. Current Meter, ADCP, RDI Long Ranger, 600m range
        1. John R thought the processing would be very similar to the ADCP's we have seen on MTM and M0.
      18. SeaHorse Profiler (SSDS ID 1405): This is a binary format. I think it is a gzipped set of data for each record, but need to chech with Andy Hamilton about it. There is XML for it, but we just say binary.
      19. MBARI Medusa (SSDS ID 1441): There is not XML for this and I think this is a new instrument. We have not seen any data yet, I only see:
        ERR: Timeout;Timeout;Timeout;retry limit exceeded
      20. ASIMET BPR (SSDS ID 1443): There is no XML for this and the data looks like:
        1025.42 1025.42
      21. Pressure, Barometric, ASIMET (Is this the same as above?)
        1. Unknown
      22. MSP430 (SSDS ID 1447): Although this instrument does not have XML specifically, we have seen this many times before. Data looks like
        $PEDATA, P1023.73, T27.63, H43.08, GFL0.00, GFH0.00, C301.46, TC0.00, * 3688
      23. SOON/PCO2 (SSDS ID 1448): Plots of raw data like on CIMT. QC Processing will run and plots of that data as well. No XML, but we have seen this instrument before. No data coming yet, we get
        ERR: while preparing to sample
      24. Flourometer/Backscatter, Hobielabs HS2 (5000m)
        1. Unknown
      25. Radiometer, Satlantic 350-800nm, Hyperspectral Es(air)
        1. Unknown, but assuming similar to post processing done on other mooring radiometers
      26. Radiometer, Satlantic 350-800nm, Hyperspectral Ed-w (water, downwelling)
        1. Unknown, but assuming similar to post processing done on other mooring radiometers
      27. Radiometer, Satlantic 350-800nm, Hyperspectral Lu-w (water, upwelling)
        1. Unknown, but assuming similar to post processing done on other mooring radiometers
    2. MSE Axis BIN Medusa subnode 1 (SSDS ID 1408): This one only sends message packets, no data
      1. MSP430 (SSDS ID 1411): This is the same as the MSP430 on other nodes.
      2. MBARI Medusa (SSDS ID 1441): This has no XML and no current data, but I went back a couple days and found data that looks like:
        -> channel=0, temp=48.51, vcc=3.2316, txBiasI=3.9796, txPower=0.4652, rxPower=0.0717, status=0x0 channel=3, temp=51.10, vcc=3.2252, txBiasI=4.4665, txPower=0.5313, rxPower=0.1337, status=0x0
      3. Medusa (SSDS ID 1485): Looks like the previous (might have actually replaced that one because it has current data).
        -> channel=0, temp=51.69, vcc=3.2208, txBiasI=4.2839, txPower=-3.3320, rxPower=-10.6312, status=0x0 channel=3, temp=54.25, vcc=3.2142, txBiasI=4.7679, txPower=-2.7678, rxPower=-8.7681, status=0x0
      4. Digital Camera

      4. Flourometer/Backscatter, Wetlabs ECO BB2F triplett
        1. Unknown, but assuming this would be a similar process that Reiko is running for M0
      5. Oxygen, Aanderaa
        1. Unknown
      6. Turbidity, Nephalometer, C-star, 6000m

      2. MBARI Medusa (SSDS ID 1442): No current data, but recent data looks like
        -> channel=3, temp=49.40, vcc=3.2308, txBiasI=2.6144, txPower=0.5348, rxPower=0.2863, status=0x0

    6. Sediment Trap, IRS
      1. Unknown
  3. Outstanding Issues:
    1. Instrument questions:
      1. ASIMET LWR (John Ryan): Is there any post processing of the raw data and if so, what does it consist of?
      2. ASIMET Radiometer, short-wave (John Ryan): Is there any post processing of the raw data and if so, what does it consist of?
      3. ASIMET Relative Humidity and Temperature (Francisco Chavez): Is there any post processing of the raw data and if so, what does it consist of?
      4. ASIMET Wind Speed Direction (Francisco Chavez): Is there any post processing of the raw data and if so, what does it consist of?
      5. Power Can (Ed Mellinger): Any new features/graphs
      6. Load Cell(Lance McBride): Any processing, any new plots?
      7. Seahorse(Andy Hamilton): Any processing, feedback or data plots from seahorse? Any linked images? Do you want processing and products tracked?
      8. MBARI Medusa(Mark Chaffey): Do we want plots of any of this data? Any post processing (and resubmit/track)?
      9. ASIMET Barometric(Chavez or Ryan): Do plots of raw data make sense? Any post processing (and resubmit/track)?
      10. All Satlantic Hyperspectral Radiometers (Chavez/Ryan): What/who is going to do the post processing. What does it look like and can we feedback/link to the results.
      11. Digital Camera (Jim Barry, Mark Chaffey): is still an unknown as to what will be returned to SSDS. Mark sent request to Jim B for requirements from the camera and that will help answer the questions for SSDS.
      12. CTD (SBE 16+) (Bill Ussler/Doug Conlin): Seabird software was identified as possibly doing the post processing, need to understand process in detail
      13. ADCP RDI Sentinel (Coenen): What is the post processing for this instrument? Can we feedback/link data products?
      14. Aquadopp (Ussler): Contact Leslie to get post processing software.
      15. Wetlabs ECO BB2F Triplett (Ussler): Follow up to try and get example data to figure out what next steps are
      16. Aanderaa Oxygen (Barry): Need to follow up to see what the data looks like and what post processing will be done.
      17. Nephalomter (Ussler): Get details on post processing. Is this a SIAM instrument?
      18. McLane Profiler(Hamilton): Get any details on post processing and if it is to link back to SSDS.
      19. Sediment Traps(Chavez): What will the data look like, are we going to put that in SSDS?
    2. General Issues:
    3. No decision has been made on MBARI's data policy for this experiment, currently the SSDS team is assuming all data will be open. The public access to data issue was discussed and the next step is to have the scientist's meet to come up with idea of how MSE data should be accessed by the public (if at all) and then give that feedback to the MT for review/approval (note the current default is that data that goes into SSDS is public)
    4. Documentation in spreadsheet incomplete – we need to go to each of the reps and collect this data
      1. Don't know driver writers for many nominally SIAM instruments
    5. Not sure what the summary/snapshot data (ADCP, OCR, Nortek, Weblabs) will look like and if we are supposed to do anything with it.
