Gliders were deployed in the Mediterranean Sea during Spring 2016 at the BOUSSOLE/DyFAMed sites by the University of East Anglia. Variables in the dataset include sea water temperature, salinity, pressure, dissolved oxygen content, chlorophyll concentration, optical backscatter coefficients and pH. The aim was to test two experimental ISFET pH-pCO₂ sensors and to estimate net community production. The data collection was jointly funded by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory and the University of East Anglia.

Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. true This dataset was created by scientists for the jointly funded DSTL and UEA project Using Novel Sensors on Underwater Autonomous Gliders for Observations of Marine Biogeochemistry following UEA in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for long-term archive, ingestion into the NODB and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library. No data quality or data processing procedures were applied by BODC to these data.
