CTD data from the R/V Endeavor (EN538) cruise in the subarctic Atlantic Ocean during 2014 (DimBio NABE project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

Data from downward CTD casts made during the August-September 2013 EN532 cruise aboard R/V Endeavor. Data have been depth-averaged over a 1 m depth interval.

Methods & Sampling

Study sites in the subarctic Atlantic Ocean along the 20 °W meridian between 58 °N and 60 °N in May 2014. A transect from the US East coast (RI) to the subarctic study sites was performed as well.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:

- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Acronym: CTD SBE 911plus

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0058/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 911 plus is a type of CTD instrument package for continuous measurement of conductivity, temperature and pressure. The SBE 911 plus includes the SBE 9plus Underwater Unit and the SBE 11plus Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 plus and SBE 11 plus is called a SBE 911 plus. The SBE 9 plus uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 plus and SBE 4). The SBE 9 plus CTD can be configured with up to eight auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.). more information from Sea-Bird Electronics
