| Description | |
| Summary | This dataset consists of temperature, salinity, pH and total alkalinity data from a range of BORAbox sensor deployments funded by Subsea7 as part of the BORA Blue Ocean Research Alliance collaboration with the National Oceanography Centre (NOC). BORAbox is a suite of lab-on-chip and CTD sensors designed to be fitted on Subsea 7 offshore infrastructure, such as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), to help assess the health of the ocean by measuring Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs). BORAbox data are quality checked post-deployment by scientists at NOC using Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP) data as a reference. |
