Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS) Standard Operating Procedures for Instruments and Sensors (High Frequency Radar, Gliders, and in situ observing systems). Revised: January 30, 2017.

Abstract

This document describes the instruments and sensors that CeNCOOS-supported investigators operate. These instruments are supported financially by CeNCOOS or operated in close partnership where CeNCOOS has influence over the operation. The document identifies what, where, and how the instruments are operated and maintained. This document is not intended to be an asset list, nor contain sensor details such as model number or serial number because this information exists elsewhere. The current (12/2016) asset list provided to IOOS appears as a table at the end. This document does not cover the data flow, curation, QC, or archive. Data flow and curation are described in the CeNCOOS data management plan.
