Deployment of Argo Float APEX 6901928 February 2018

The Argo Float 6901928 was deployed on 18/02/2018 at 53.2342 N, -15.6503 W. The most current measurement was taken on 27/06/2026. The autonomous floats drift on the ocean currents for 10 days at 1000 m before diving to its profiling depth of 2000 m, taking ocean property measurements of temperature and salinity on its ascent to the surface. These two essential climate variables describe the oceans' physical and thermodynamic state. Once surfaced the data are transmitted via satellite. Marine Institute floats used ARGOS communications until 2017, and moved to Iridium communications in 2018 allowing for more information transmitted at faster rates with a two-way communication to the float. The Iridium communication means the float surface times are between 15-30 minutes instead of hours using ARGOS communication. The data are accessible online at Erddap (https://erddap.marine.ie/erddap/tabledap/argoFloats.html) and https://argo.ucsd.edu/data/. The Marine Research Infrastructures team operate and manage Ireland's contribution to Argo -  a global array of autonomous floats or profilers, deployed across the world's oceans, reporting subsurface ocean water properties to a wide range of users via satellite transmission links to data centers.  
The Argo array is an indispensable component of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) required to understand and monitor the role of the ocean in the Earth’s climate system, in particular the heat and water balance.  The International Argo programme currently has a network of approximately 4,000 Argo floats taking measurements in the world’s oceans and is integrated into the Copernicus programme and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). The Euro-Argo European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), which Ireland is a member of, aims to sustain 25% of Argo International’s global fleet autonomous floats.

Sensitive Ecosystem Assessment and ROV Exploration of Reef Survey Report 2017 (SeaRover 2017).

O'Sullivan, D., Leahy, Y., Guinan, J. & Shipboard Scientific Party (2017). Sensitive Ecosystem Assessment and ROV Exploration of Reef Survey Report 2017. Cruise Report prepared by INFOMAR and the Marine Institute, Galway, Ireland to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. A requirement exists to quantify the abundance and distribution of offshore biogenic and geogenic reef habitats in Irish waters to fulfil Ireland?s legal mandate and to generate baseline data from which appropriate monitoring systems can be established. To address this an extensive offshore reef survey of Ireland?s Northwest Continental margin was commissioned by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), and coordinated and led by INFOMAR (Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland?s Marine Resources) and Ireland?s Marine Institute. The objectives of the survey were to implement the EMFF?s Marine Biodiversity Scheme - Natura Fisheries by mapping offshore reef habitats with a view to protecting them from deterioration due to fishing pressures. The reef project aligns with sub-article 6.2 of the Habitats Directive (EC 92/43/EEC) which requires member states to take measures to avoid deterioration of protected habitats. A survey, Sensitive Ecosystem Assessment and ROV Exploration of Reef (SeaRover), took place in July 2017 aboard the ILV Granuaile equipped with the Marine Institute?s remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Holland 1 and a multidisciplinary team of scientists to observe seabed features and biological associations along the northwest continental shelf. The Holland 1 employs high-definition (HD) camera, various composite video feeds and a robotic arm to facilitate sample collection. The primary scientific objective was to map the distribution and abundance of geogenic and biogenic reef habitat along the northwest shelf edge of Ireland?s continental slope with HD video. Secondary objectives included the collection of biological samples for genetic and population analysis and the collection of sediment cores for ground-truthing seabed mapping data and analysis of micro-plastics within deep-water sediment.

INFOMAR Seabed Sediment Samples Granulometry

INFOMAR Seabed Samples Particle Size Analysis represent locations where samples have been taken and particle size analysis (PSA) carried out on samples. PSA is applied to determine the range of sediment sizes contained in the sample. These size classes can then be grouped into mud, sand and gravel on the basis of their diameter with the boundary between mud and sand size grains at 63µm (0.063mm) and the boundary between sand and gravel size grains at 2mm. The relative proportion of the grains in the three categories is then used to classify the sediment present in the sample. The Folk Classification scheme has 15 classes to describe the sediment. Gradistat software was used to classify the PSA output for each sediment sample into a Folk sediment class and to provide information on the sorting and metrics for the mode and D50.
