Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Hydrographic data and water samples were collected during casts with a CTD-rosette system (SBE11plus equipped with a fluorometer, transmissometer, oxygen sensor, and a PAR sensor).

Water samples for dissolved, inorganic nutrient analysis were collected in duplicate directly from Niskin bottles attached to the CTD-rosette system (listed above). Sampling tubes were rinsed with sample water three times before collection. After collection, one set of samples was placed in a fridge to be analyzed within 48hrs aboard the vessel while the duplicate set of samples was placed immediately in a freezer for later analysis. Analysis was completed on a Lachat Quickchem 8500 Series 2 nutrient analyzer, according to standard methods listed below:

PO4: 31-115-01-I

Si: 31-114-27-1-B

NO3/NO2: 31-107-04-1-A

NO2: 31-107-05-1-A

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Data Processing:
Hydrographic data were processed using SeaSave v 7.26.7.121. Please see the "EN640_Nutrients_Processing_Notes.pdf" Supplemental File for data processing details. Nutrient data were processed using Omnion 3.0 Software.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- renamed fields to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- converted date to YYYY-MM-DD format;
- added date-time field in ISO8601 format.

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
