Information requiered for Section 2.4 Clark electrode polarographic sensor (SBE43)

[patricialg]

I'll look for some basic information contained in sensor manuals (about the sensor, how it works and recomended calibrations). I'll add it to the section so at least we don't have an empty one, but we will need to find experts in case there are some modifications to the manufacturer protocols that will improve the sensor performance.
I'll try to find info for the SBE 43/43F and 63 since in Table 1, all of these sensors are listed.

I added some basic information about Clark sensors. Information from SB webpage ( from manuals and application notes).
Since there is so much in common in this text between 43,43F and 63 (because it´s too general this secion), I changed the name of the section to include all of them.
Is there any photo available? I can try to ask MARS at NOC.

Ok so let's keep this issue open until we found a free one but i already merged the text! Thanks Patry!

This relates also to #146

@evibourma might have an image for this section.

Section, 3.1.4. Clark electrode polarographic sensors is wrong, the SBE 63 is not a polarographic sensor, it's optical and much more like an optode, it should have it's own section (assuming anyone is using these on gliders).
If they're not used on gliders I suggest we don't include them.

Thanks a lot @tomhull for clarifying this. I think @evibourma uses this sensor or?

Hi @tomhull and @soerenthomsen,
I think we should keep the SBE63 since Spray uses it which brings another question, we don't have any inputs from expert at the moment for Spray. We can add information related to this from articles (e.g. Takeshita et al., 2021 https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/atot/38/2/jtech-d-20-0095.1.xml) at least to keep the basic information about the glider. What do you think?

@rtodd-WHOI are you interested to also contribute to this Oxygen SOP and could you or someone from your team provide a picture of a Spray SBE63 integration?
