S-MODE L2 Shipboard SUNA nitrate data Version 1

Description

This dataset contains Submersible Ultraviolet Nitrate Analyzer (SUNA) nitrate measurements taken during the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) pilot campaign conducted approximately 300 km offshore of San Francisco over two weeks in October 2021. S-MODE aims to understand how ocean dynamics acting on short spatial scales influence the vertical exchange of physical and biological variables in the ocean. SUNA is a standalone optical nitrate sensor that mounts onto the shipboard CTD rosette cast from the R/V Oceanus. The SUNA measurements are calibrated against bottle nutrient samples taken from the underway flow-through system on the ship and later analyzed with a Lachat Nutrient Analyzer. From the Lachat data, the average concentration of nitrate+nitrite are used for each sample. Data are available in netCDF format.
