My research concerns the measurement of oxygen using a fleet of autonomous ARGO floats. Oxygen optodes are the most prevalent sensor for electronic O2 measurements, and can provide high quality data. These sensors, however, are subject to calibration drift both pre- and post- deployment. My work aims to find better sampling methods with these sensors to not only reduce drift, but also to provide more accurate and well calibrated measurements.
