Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Data were collected CTD during cruises KM1919 and KM1920.

The CTD data has been reprocessed and aligned, and outliers have been removed. Nutrient samples were filtered (Sterivex 0.22um) before analysis and analyzed using the US-JGOFS protocols (http://usjgofs.whoi.edu/protocols_rpt_19.html). All data are considered preliminary.

Known Problems:
Calibration salinity samples analyzed using an AutoSal salinometer agreed with CTD sensor 0, but sensor 1 was significantly off. Consequently, salinity values and derived values (density, oxygen, oxygen saturation) were calculated only from sensor 0. Sensor 1 data not included.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Data Processing:
Raw data from the CTD was processed using SeaBird software programs (Data conversion, Align, Thermal mass, Derive, Bin average and Bottle Summary).

BCO-DMO Processing:
- converted dates from Excel format to YYYY-MM-DD;
- renamed fields to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- added Cruise_ID field based on date;
- corrected date for station 8, second occupation.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 911

Supplied Name: CTD-SBE 911

Supplied Description:

CTD-SBE 911; factory calibrations.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 911

Acronym: CTD SBE 911

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0035/

Generic Description:

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

Wet Labs CSTAR Transmissometer

Supplied Name: Wet labs C-Star

Supplied Description:

Beam attenuation and transmission were by Wet labs C-Star.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Wet Labs CSTAR Transmissometer

Acronym: WL CSTAR Trans

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0160/

Generic Description:

A highly integrated opto-electronic design to provide a low cost, compact solution for underwater measurements of beam transmittance. The instrument is capable of either free space measurements, or through the use of an optical flow tube, flow-through sampling with a pump. It can be used in profiling, moored, or underway applications. more information from Wet Labs
