Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Water samples were collected using a 12 x 10-liter Niskin bottle rosette sampler equipped with a conductivity, temperature, and pressure instrument package (SBE9, Sea-Bird Electronics, Bellevue, Washington, U.S.A.), a sensor for dissolved oxygen (SBE43, Sea-Bird), and a sensor for chlorophyll fluorescence (FluoroWetlabECO, AFL FL Sensor).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

CTD data were processed with Seasave V 7.26.0.7.

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- Standardized UTC time formatting;
- Added a UTC datetime field in ISO 8601 format;
- Renamed fields to remove all special characters except underscores.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 9

Supplied Description:

A conductivity, temperature, and pressure instrument package (SBE9, Sea-Bird Electronics, Bellevue, Washington, U.S.A) attached to the Niskin bottle rosette used for sample collection.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 9

Acronym: CTD SBE 9

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 9 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 9 is the Underwater Unit and is most often combined with the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) when deployed from a research 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, fluorometer, altimeter, etc.). Note that in most cases, it is more accurate to specify SBE 911 than SBE 9 since it is likely a SBE 11 deck unit was used. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin bottle rosette sampler

Supplied Description:

Water samples were collected using a 12 x 10 L Niskin bottle rosette sampler, which was equipped with CTD Sea-Bird 9, Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen, and Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer sensors.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

Generic Description:

A Niskin bottle (a next generation water sampler based on the Nansen bottle) is a cylindrical, non-metallic water collection device with stoppers at both ends. The bottles can be attached individually on a hydrowire or deployed in 12, 24, or 36 bottle Rosette systems mounted on a frame and combined with a CTD. Niskin bottles are used to collect discrete water samples for a range of measurements including pigments, nutrients, plankton, etc.

Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Supplied Name: SBE43, Sea-Bird

Supplied Description:

A dissolved oxygen sensor attached to the Niskin bottle rosette used for sample collection.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Acronym: SBE-43 DO

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0036/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 43 dissolved oxygen sensor is a redesign of the Clark polarographic membrane type of dissolved oxygen sensors. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer

Supplied Name: FluoroWetlabECO, AFL FL Sensor

Supplied Description:

A sensor for chlorophyll fluorescence attached to the Niskin bottle rosette used for sample collection.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer

Acronym: ECO AFL/FL

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0172/

Generic Description:

The Environmental Characterization Optics (ECO) series of single channel fluorometers delivers both high resolution and wide ranges across the entire line of parameters using 14 bit digital processing. The ECO series excels in biological monitoring and dye trace studies. The potted optics block results in long term stability of the instrument and the optional anti-biofouling technology delivers truly long term field measurements.
