Title of dataset | ADCP, CTD, chlorophyll and turbidity data from AUVs operated by the Belgian Navy |
Narrative summary of dataset | Since 2006, the Belgian Navy operates 5 Hydroid REMUS 100 Autonomous underwater vehicles. Four more were acquired in 2012 and 2016. 880 missions have been undertaken in various European countries for port protection and mine hunting operations, for which the sidescan sonar images are used,. This datset contains data from 455 missions (inland and testing missions excluded) from 2006 until 2019, mostly in Europe (Baltic, North and Mediterranean Sea) and contains ADCP, CTD, chlorophyll and turbidity data. |
Summary of processing methodology | The AUV is deployed for a mission, and afterwards the data can be easily read out from the on-board data storage. The raw data is stored at the Marine barracks in Ostend, Belgium. A subset containing only marine observations has been collated from the different files and presented as a set of text files. ADCP data was also saved as text files until 2016 (new firmware of the sensor). After this date, only ADC files are available. The specific sensors included in the AUV are unknown. |
