PANDORA
Notes regarding oxygen calibration, Pandora Cruise A. Ganachaud, 2013. Non-public.
Sensors
Calibration sheets: main primary: 1506 (pre calibration 5-may-2012; same with Tcor); main secondary: 0514 (pre calibration 28-oct-2011; post calibration 15-dec-2012; same with Tcor)
Primary and secondary sensors: " Généralement le circuit primaire est meilleur. Sur le secondaire il y a souvent du bruit en conductivité. Donc je prendrais systématiquement le primaire. cas particulier, le cast 6801, que Jacques a récupéré après inversion des circuits, à vérifier même si les capteurs sont maintenant dans le bon ordre. Et toujours les problèmes en surface pour 1301,1302, 3903,3904.

Residuals before interpolation:
Calibration
Experiment | Option | Residuals (STD) | Remark |
---|---|---|---|
1: all stats 1-82 | regular LS | 0.03 (1.64) (fig) | See linear structure with station after 12 |
2: all stats 1-82 | linear stat | 0.02 (1.13) (fig) | Much better but remaining struct stat 1-10; removed more outliers |
3: stats 12-82 | linear stat | 0.02 (1.05) (fig) | Very nice fit. Deviation at stat 60 below 4000m |
4: stats 1-10 | linear stat | -0.095 (1.011) (fig) | Ok but bias looks large |
5: stats 1-10 | regular LS | 0.003 (1.17) (fig) | Much better without slope |
6: only deep reaching (>3000m) stats | regular LS | 0.02 (1.20) (fig) |
Still 3.5 umol/kg at 5500m/ stat 60 Not sufficient. G. Johnson recommends using fit 3; then fit on station 60, only one coefficient (poor): experience 9 |
7: try wswitch to 1 (weight on deep measurements) |
linear ws=1 |
0.06 (1.25) (fig) |
Keeps many more outliers but still residual slope with depth |
8: try wswitch to 3 (L4 norm) |
linear ws=3 |
0.08 (1.165) (fig) | Keeps many more outliers but still residual slope with depthSupposed to better fit low and high values |
9: Station 60 only; fit all coefs except Pcor | |||
10: stats 1-10; wswitch to 1; slope=0 |
regular ws=1 |
Better than exp 5 but still large at station 3 | |
11: stats 1-10; wswitch=1; slope=1 |
linear ws=1 |
-0.009 (1.179) (fig) (bydepth) |
** DOES NOT CONVERGE ** linear station dependent bias and weight on deep measurements give a good residual |
12: stats 12-82; remove calibration below 3510m |
linear ws=0 |
suffix_3510m. Very nice fit | |
13: stats12-82; based on exp 3 but using in situ oxygen solubility |
linear ws=0 |
0.023 (1.056) (fig) | little difference with experience 3 (see in situ T-S-O2) |
14: stats 12-82; same as exp 12 but ws=1 because saw about 1umol/kg deep bias |
linear ws=1 |
0.03 (1.08) (rms 1.08) (fig) (bydepth) | At depths, difference with Exp 12 is very small. |

Experiment | Option | Residuals (STD) | Remark |
---|---|---|---|
1: all stats 1-82 | regular LS | 0.05 (1.96) (fig) | Same linear structure with station after 12; but also in stations 1-10 |
11: stats 1-10; wswitch=1; slope=1 |
linear ws=1 |
0.02 (1.3)(1.3)(fig) (bydepth) |
Good residual; vertical structure is unbiased: need to check if it converged |

Optimal as for circuit 1 |
*** FINAL CHOICE FOR CALIBRATION ***
Choice between Primary and Secondary
- Use secondary O2 only for profiles 4201 4202 4204 4205 4207 4208 4209 6001. **WATCH OUT** for calibration purpose we used TS from primary, but we use T and S from secondary: (they remain flagged at 3)
- Comparison primary/secondary for 6001 (compare_primary_secondary_station60.m)
- All profiles with only those from secondary: Theta-O2 for all; isolating secondary
