Float diagnostics primarily for the monitoring of float health.
Sens_ID=0x04 Data_ID=0x04
Buoyancy pump monitoring information as float ascends and
descends. The first value is usually around 100dbar and
indicates the pumping done to target the park depth. Seek
periods may follow. From profile pressure to the surface,
the float attempts to maintain a constant rate.
Sens_ID=0x00 Data_ID=0x0[0:6]
Position fixes returned by the float. First GPS fix occurs
just after surfacing. Second GPS fix occurs just before
leaving the surface. An estimate of the Iridium Position
is also displayed. NOTE: the 2nd GPS fix is transmitted in
the subsequent cycle, thus the most recent cycle will not
have reported both positions.
Sens_ID=0x21 Data_ID=0x0[0:2]
Display of profile and trajectory information:
Sens_ID=0x00 Data_ID=0x00 pro_Dir=0x00
Pressure-Time pairs taken periodically as the float measures its
profile (from Park to max pressure, to surface) In the left
panel, the data pairs are converted to vertical speed.
Red dots are from the latest cycle.
Sens_ID=0x00 Data_ID=0x00 pro_Dir=0x01
Pressure-Time pairs taken periodically as the float descends
from the surface to its park pressure. A large temporal gap
between the last few data points indicate a SEEK period.
In the left panel the data pairs are converted to vertical speed
. Red dots are from the latest cycle.
Sens_ID=0x21 Data_ID=0x[0:2] pro_Type=0x03
Pressure, Temperature, and Salinity measurements taken during
the drift (park) phase. Red dots are from the latest cycle.
Sens_ID=0x01 Data_ID=0x02
Often changed configuration parameters are reported by the float
. Examples include parking and profile pressure, amongst
others.
Graphical Display of Core Delayed Mode Quality Control (DMQC) data
BGC sensor figures display unedited/unadjusted data transmitted by the float.
