Assignment 2#

Due 3 31 July (Wednesday)

See general feedback on assignment 1 here

Half the class will work on one problem, half on the other. However the work is individual - not group. You may discuss approaches with others; you may share code for loading datasets; you should decide your own analyses (can be in discussion) and write the code for the analysis yourself.

Assignment 2: You must turn in working code in a repository, along with the generated figures and a report. The code should only need to be adjusted by specifying a different path for the input datasets. Your report should include a section for future work.

(A) moored CTDs

Evaluating two moored CTDs: a microCAT and RBR

Correct dropouts, quantify bias. Assess subsampling + in situ cals.

(C) Glider data

Characterising an oceanic phenomenon using glider data.

Describe (quantitatively) the ocean changes due to a storm, or a phytoplankton bloom.

Note

Choice of A or C: Mikhail, Isabelle, David, Julian, Till.
