Description

Temperature and salinity data from 29 CTD casts during DANCE cruise HRS1414 aboard the R/V Hugh R. Sharp binned into 0.5-m depth intervals.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

CTD casts were conducted using a Sea-Bird SBE-911+ during the R/V Hugh R. Sharp cruise HRS1414.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Raw CTD output was binned into 0.5-m intervals using Matlab. Raw CTD output used is available at http://www.rvdata.us/catalog/HRS1414

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* Two tabular datasets from two separate files were joined to form this dataset (dance_DATASET_ctd_bin.xlsx and dance_deployment_CTD_cast_time_and_location.xlsx). One contained cast information, and one the ctd salinity and temperature data
* The data parameter format was changed to use the following number of decimal places
* matlab_datenum (all 9 decimal places available, only two were displayed in the original Excel file)
* lat/lon (4 decimal places)
* depth (one decimal place)
* temp and salin (two decimal places)

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
