Glider and ALR deployments collect pressure, temperature, conductivity, and salinity through CTD sensors. Each platform’s logger records: platform attitude, water velocities, depth (pressure), and engineering variables. Additional sensors collecting: optical backscatter, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbulence microstructure, irradiance, and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) data are mounted on each platform according to individual project objectives. Measurements are decimated for transmission and sent to BODC via satellite in near-real-time, where data are curated, then delivered in the OG1.0 Community (NetCDF) and raw binary format on ERDDAP for open access projects, in addition to the provision of metadata in JSON format. Near-real-time and recovery (i.e. the data from the SD card upon platform recovery) versions of the data are available. The metadata contain information about project, campaign objectives, funding, event metadata, platform and sensors, and measured parameters and units.

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 collection comprises raw platform data, and data that were processed through BODC systems with management from partner organisations who own the data. Quality control procedures depend on the platform and data processing level. The data were provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for processing through the BODC Autonomous Platforms Data System (APDS) into the OceanGliders OG1.0 community data format. During ingestion, BODC undertakes quality control and documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate for the data type.Instrument(s) used to collect data: optical backscatter sensors; ADVs and turbulence probes; nutrient analysers; CTD; dissolved gas sensors.
