Remote monitoring of physical and biological properties in the Salish Sea: VENUS sea-surface monitoring with high frequency radar and instrumented ferries
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Remote monitoring of sea surface properties is a key objective of the VENUS coastal observatory operated by Ocean Networks Canada (ONC; www.oceannetworks.ca). Our focus is on the physically and biologically dynamic southern central Strait of Georgia where the Fraser River discharges into the Salish Sea. Here we discuss our experiences with: 1) a high frequency radar installation (Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar, CODAR); and 2) three instrumented ferry routes (starting in 2012). The CODAR system was deployed with two antennae on either side of the mouth of the Fraser River in 2011. This particular arrangement provides for hourly measurements of both radial and total surface current velocities in the vicinity of and including the Fraser River plume. Similarly, each of the three instrumented BC-Ferries routes transit through the Fraser River plume several times per day en route between Vancouver Island and the mainland. Measurements of salinity, temperature, phytoplankton biomass, dissolved oxygen, and coloured dissolved organic matter are available every 10 seconds (in real-time on the internet) and enable high-resolution, spatio-temporal characterization of sea-surface properties. We will present an overview of these relatively new time-series in the context of data products available to stakeholders in the Salish Sea.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
