REMUS100 AUV data from the Belgian Navy (ADCP, CTD, Chl, turbidity). Since 2006, the Belgian Navy (NMWMSC) operates 5 Hydroid REMUS 100 Autonomous underwater vehicles. Four more were acquired in 2012 and 2016. 880 missions have been undertaken in various European countries for port protection and mine hunting operations, for which the sidescan sonar images are used. This dataset contains data from 455 missions (inland and testing missions excluded) from 2006 until 2019, mostly in Europe (Baltic, North and Mediterranean Sea) and contains ADCP, CTD, chlorophyll and turbidity data.

The operator is unsure about whether this includes calibration. The operator only performed quality control on the accuracy of the location (important as this pinpoints mines and other points of interest), not on the other parameters, as these have no immediate use for them. BMDC have performed a range check and the flagging of sudden measurement spikes as suspect values.
