Description

The Thornton measuring buoy is part of the oceanographic component of ICOS Belgium (The Integrated Carbon Observation System), it carries sensors for both LifeWatch and ICOS. Management is organized as part of ICOS, an established and landmark European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) delivering high quality observations of greenhouse gases in all environmental domains. 

The buoy collects data at approximately 30 minutes frequency and is regularly maintained and calibrated by VLIZ. This dataset includes the 2018 CTD data. Sensors were calibrated pre and post deployment and the analysis of the data alongside the calibrations suggest that no data corrections were needed.
