A cross-plot of all matched observations for the first month of the deployment is given in
figure 6. Comparisons were limited to one month as a representation of a typical field deployment
and to focus on initial instrument offset versus impacts of biofouling during an extended
deployment. A linear regression of the instrument versus reference measurements (r
2
= 0.98;
p<0.001) produced a slope of 0.968 and intercept of 0.306.
