Description

Conductivity, temperature, depth and salinity data from the TBeam A1 mooring deployed in 4768-m of water in the Tasman Sea between January 10 and February 28, 2015. Data is provided in both NetCDF and Matlab format.

As noted in the T-Beam mooring diagram, 4 of the 8 Aanderaa current meters failed or had bad data (at 1063, 1893, 2723 and 3830m depth). They are not included in the associated current meter data file.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Conversion from binary using MATLAB Version: 9.3.0.713579 (R2017b) . Salinity calculated from observed temperature (deg C), conductivity (mS/cm) and pressure (dbar) using the seawater toolbox in Matlab sw_salt.m. Data interpolated onto common depth/time grid.

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird MicroCAT 37

Acronym: CTD MicroCAT 37

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/350/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird MicroCAT CTD unit is a high-accuracy conductivity and temperature recorder based on the Sea-Bird SBE 37 MicroCAT series of products. It can be configured with optional pressure sensor, internal batteries, memory, built-in Inductive Modem, integral Pump, and/or SBE-43 Integrated Dissolved Oxygen sensor. Constructed of titanium and other non-corroding materials for long life with minimal maintenance, the MicroCAT is designed for long duration on moorings.

In a typical mooring, a modem module housed in the buoy communicates with underwater instruments and is interfaced to a computer or data logger via serial port. The computer or data logger is programmed to poll each instrument on the mooring for its data, and send the data to a telemetry transmitter (satellite link, cell phone, RF modem, etc.). The MicroCAT saves data in memory for upload after recovery, providing a data backup if real-time telemetry is interrupted.
