Conductivity, temperature, and water depth at 4 locations in the SUSTAIN tank at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Key Biscayne, FL in 2018

Abstract:

Conductivity, temperature, and water depth at 4 locations in the SUSTAIN tank at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Key Biscayne, FL in 2018.

Expand/Collapse All

Methods & Sampling

SUSTAIN = SUrge STructure Atmosphere INteraction (SUSTAIN) Laboratory / SUSTAIN Wind-Wave Tank

The CTD was deployed in the SUSTAIN tank at 4 locations with a sampling rate of 3 Hz (3 samples/second). See "SUSTAIN Tank Instrument Inventory" for details on instruments and locations in the tank.
* 2 CTDs positioned at mid-tank location
* CTD nearest to tank inlet
* CTD nearest to tank beach

Instruments

Manufacturer: Decagon CTD
Calibrations: Typically diagnosed/calibrated by sampling in small water bucket or tank of known depth with chosen salinity (fresh or salt) using one or multiple of the units for consistency.

Specifications: Water Depth (Range 0-3.5m, Accuracy +/- 0.2% of wire length span, Resolution 1mm)
Electrical Conductivity (Range 0-120 mS/cm, Accuracy +/- 5% of reading, Resolution 1.2% of reading)

Temperature (Range -40 to +50 deg C, Accuracy +/- 1 deg C, Resolution 0.1 deg C)

Data Processing Description

Raw data provided without any modifications. No data processing; data were logged by Campbell Scientific logger and accessed via Campbell Scientific LoggerNet software.

BCO-DMO data manager processing notes:
* The 124 logger files TOA5_SUSTAIN_CTD4.CTDdata_*.dat were bundled in their original logger format and attached to this dataset in the "Data Files" section.
* 124 logger files imported into the BCO-DMO data system and combined into one data table for this dataset. This table is considered the main data table for this dataset. Values -9999,9999,99999,999,998 were identified as missing data identifiers and will be provided as the appropriate value for provided data formats (e.g. Matlab .mat file will have NaN).
* In main data table, TIMESTAMP column converted to ISO8601 format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ with time zone UTC.
* column added "source_file_name" added to main data table so it is clear which logger file each set of rows came from.

CTD - fixed

Supplied Name: Decagon CTD

Supplied Description:

Manufacturer: Decagon CTD

Calibrations:
Typically diagnosed/calibrated by sampling in small water bucket or tank of known depth with chosen salinity (fresh or salt) using one or multiple of the units for consistency.

Specifications:
Water Depth (Range 0-3.5m, Accuracy +/- 0.2% of wire length span, Resolution 1mm)
Electrical Conductivity (Range 0-120 mS/cm, Accuracy +/- 5% of reading, Resolution 1.2% of reading)
Temperature (Range -40 to +50 deg C, Accuracy +/- 1 deg C, Resolution 0.1 deg C)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD - fixed

Generic Description:

A reusable instrument that always simultaneously measures conductivity and temperature (for salinity) and pressure (for depth).

This term applies to CTDs that are fixed and do not measure by profiling through the water column. For profiling CTDs, see https://www.bco-dmo.org/instrument/417.

Parameters
