  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">On the SmartBuoy, surface measurements of plant nutrient concentrations are 
derived from two instruments. The NAS-3X in-situ nutrient analyser takes 
hourly measurements of nitrate concentration, while lower frequency (daily) 
measurements of nitrate and silicate concentration are derived from laboratory 
analysis of water samples collected and preserved by the WMS-2 water sampler. 
An estimate of phytoplankton concentration (biomass) is obtained twice per 
hour using a fluorometer measuring chlorophyll fluorescence. To aid 
interpretation of these data, SmartBuoy also takes measurements of 
conductivity, temperature, suspended sediment concentration, light penetration 
with the ESM2 logger. Data are telemetered every two hours using ORBCOMM 
satellite telemetry.

The Noordwijk 10 SmartBuoy is located at 52.301 N, 4.303 E. It started logging 
in September 2001 and finished in September 2001.</dc:description>
