Description

Processed hydrography data from Metzyme cruise (KM1128) collected using the ship's CTD packages.

These data were published in:
Santoro, A.E., Saito, M.A., Goepfert, T.J., Lamborg, C.H., Dupont, C.L., and G.R. DiTullio. 2017. Thaumarchaeal ecotype distributions across the equatorial Pacific Ocean and their potential roles in nitrification and sinking flux attenuation. Limnology & Oceanography. doi:10.1002/lno.10547

Methods & Sampling

Data were collected using the ship's CTD package (SBE911+). Note that the ship’s first& CTD, used at Station 1, was lost at station 2. A second CTD package was later obtained and used at stations 5-12. (Refer to the 'Problem Report' below for more information.)

Also note that a second CTD package (Trace Metal Rosette (TMR), SEACAT 19+) was also used for sampling at some stations. See the "TMR Hydrography dataset" (https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/716685) for these related data.

Data Processing Description

Note that all raw data are contained in the NODC R2R repository for cruise KM1128. This deposition includes only the processed data.

Data were processed using SeaBird Data Processing software, version 7.21f.

The processing routine for the first sensor package (file: km1128_001_bin.cnv) utilized the following processing parameters:
# datcnv_skipover = 0
# datcnv_ox_hysteresis_correction = yes
# datcnv_ox_tau_correction = yes
# filter_low_pass_tc_A = 0.150
# filter_low_pass_tc_B = 2.000
# filter_low_pass_A_vars = prDM upoly0 upoly1 xmiss
# filter_low_pass_B_vars =
# alignctd_adv = sbeox0Mm/Kg 2.000
# loopedit_minVelocity = 0.250
# loopedit_surfaceSoak: minDepth = 2.0, maxDepth = 20, useDeckPress = 0
# loopedit_excl_bad_scans = yes
# wildedit_pass1_nstd = 2.0
# wildedit_pass2_nstd = 20.0
# wildedit_pass2_mindelta = 0.000e+000
# wildedit_npoint = 100
# wildedit_vars = prDM depSM t090C c0mS/cm sbeox0Mm/Kg upoly0 upoly1 t190C c1mS/cm xmiss
# wildedit_excl_bad_scans = yes

The processing routine for the second sensor package (all other files) utilized the following processing parameters:
# datcnv_skipover = 0
# datcnv_ox_hysteresis_correction = yes
# datcnv_ox_tau_correction = yes
# filter_low_pass_tc_A = 0.150
# filter_low_pass_tc_B = 2.000
# filter_low_pass_A_vars = prDM flSP
# filter_low_pass_B_vars =
# alignctd_adv = sbeox0Mm/Kg 2.000
# loopedit_minVelocity = 0.250
# loopedit_surfaceSoak: minDepth = 2.0, maxDepth = 20, useDeckPress = 0
# loopedit_excl_bad_scans = yes
# wildedit_pass1_nstd = 2.0
# wildedit_pass2_nstd = 20.0
# wildedit_pass2_mindelta = 0.000e+000
# wildedit_npoint = 100
# wildedit_vars = prDM depSM t090C sbeox0Mm/Kg flSP c0mS/cm
# wildedit_excl_bad_scans = yes
# binavg_bintype = meters
# binavg_binsize = 1
# binavg_excl_bad_scans = yes
# binavg_skipover = 0
# binavg_surface_bin = no, min = 0.000, max = 0.000, value = 0.000

Problem Report:
The entire rosette, including the CTD sensor package, came free from the hydrowire at Station 2 and was never recovered. A reconstituted, but limited, sensor package was assembled by Station 5. Details given above refer either to the 'first package' (Station 1) or 'second package' (Stations 5-12). Gaps in the dataset were filled using CTD data from the sensor package on the trace metal clean rosette (TMR), deposited as a separate dataset in BCO-DMO.

No ship's CTD data were taken at Station 11.

Surface (0-10 m) oxygen data are suspect.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions (removed spaces, replaced "/" with underscores);
- replaced blanks (missing data) with "nd";
- converted longitude values from positive to negative to indicate West.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Supplied Name: Sea-Bird SBE911+

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
