Real time measurement from research vessels Some data routinely recorded on board research vessels are important to CORIOLIS project : vertical TPS profiles from XBT, XCTD, CTD TPS from thermosalinometers current for vessel mounted ADCP CORIOLIS parteners, in charge of research vessels, agreed to transmit such datasets in real-time to CORIOLIS Data Center.

The project "Acquisition from research vessels" elaborates the procedures to be applied by all partners for quality control, real time data processing and transmission to shore.

Project tasks

3 main actions are on going:

    1) maintenance and calibration of equipment,
    2) data compression and real time transmission
    3) data collection, quality control, archiving and distribution

Vertical profiles 

The research vessels that transmit vertical profiles are : IFRTP: Marion Dufresne IFREMER: L'Atalante, Thalassa, Le Suroît SHOM: Beautemps Beaupré Access to vertical profiles through "Coriolis Data Center"

Thermosalinometers

	IFRTP: Marion Dufresne. The thermosalinometer operating. Transmissions will start in 2003
	IFREMER: L'Atalante, Thalassa, Le Suroît: data transmission in real time operating.  Quality control procedures definition realtime - delayed mode quality control on going definition
	SHOM: Beautemps Beaupré: thermosalinometer operating

VMADCP

Methodology for real time data transmission is under definition by a cooking group. Data transmission started in 2003.
