BIOS-SCOPE CTD data 2016-2025 Dataset Description: Methods and Sampling: <p>CTD profiles followed the sampling procedures detailed in the BATS method manual version #4 (Knap et al., 1997). The CTD is operated as per SeaBird's suggested methods with data collection at the full scan rate of 24 hertz (Hz). The CTD is powered up and allowed to stabilize at 12 meters prior to profiling. This stabilization period is important for both the conductivity and dissolved oxygen sensors to warm up prior to making measurements. Once stable (typically 4 minutes) the CTD is brought back to the surface from which point the profile begins with typical descent rates of 0.7 to 1.0 meters per second (m/s), depending on weather conditions. Water samples are collected on the upcast and prior to triggering bottles, the CTD is kept at the desired depth for a minimum of 60 seconds to ensure that entrainment from the following wake has subsided. Once the water sample is taken, the CTD immediately continues with the upcast at an ascent rate of 0.7 to 1.0 m/s.</p>
<p>The basic system used to acquire CTD data is a Sea-Bird SBE 9plus CTD, with an internal Digiquartz pressure sensor, a Sea-Bird SBE-3F temperature sensor, a Sea-Bird SBE-4 conductivity cell and a Sea-Bird SBE-5 pump. Additional sensors include the Sea-Bird SBE-43 dissolved oxygen sensor, the WET Labs C-Star or Chelsea/Seatech Transmissometer, the Chelsea Aqua 3 Fluorometer, and the Biospherical/Licor PAR/Irradiance sensor. Present configuration also includes a secondary temperature sensor, a Sea-Bird SBE-35 temperature sensor, a secondary conductivity sensor and pump, which are connected independently from the primary units. The temperature and conductivity sensors are connected by a standard Sea-Bird TC-duct (clear, low viscous type), which ensures that the same parcel of water is sampled by both sensors, improving the accuracy of the computed salinity. The dissolved oxygen sensor is connected downstream from the conductivity cell and the flow rate through this sensor configuration is maintained at a steady rate by the inertia balanced SBE-5 pump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The aim of BIOS-SCOPE is to expand knowledge about the BATS ecosystem and achieve a better understanding of ocean food web sources, sinks and transformations of DOM. Advances in knowledge and technology now poise us to investigate the specific mechanisms of DOM incorporation, oxidation and transformation by zooplankton and the distinct microbial plankton communities that have been discovered at BATS.</p>
<p>The overarching goal of the BIOS-SCOPE is to form and foster collaborations of cross disciplinary science that utilize a broad suite of genomic, chemical, ecological, and biogeochemical approaches to evaluate microbial process, structure and function on various scales. These scales will range from organism-compound and organism-organism interactions to large biogeochemical patterns on the ecosystem scale. For this purpose we have assembled a cross-disciplinary team including microbial oceanographers (Carlson and Giovannoni), a chemical oceanographer (Kujawinski), biological oceanographer / zooplankton ecologists (Maas and Blanco-Bercial) and microbial bioinformatician (Temperton) with the expertise and technical acuity that are needed to study complex interactions between food web processes, microbes and DOM quantity and quality in the oligotrophic ocean. This scientific team has a vision of harnessing this potential to produce new discoveries that provide a mechanistic understanding of the carbon cycle and explain the many emergent phenomenon that have yet to be understood.</p>

<p>CTD data processing typically follows the procedures outlined in Knap et al., 1997 and can be divided into three major stages: (1) CTD signal conversion and dynamic sensor correction, (2) static drift corrections and empirical field calibrations, (3) calculation of derived variables. Stage 1 is performed using SeaBird's SEASOFT software and some MATLAB scripts; Stage 2 and 3 are performed in the MATLAB environment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The basic steps of stage 1 are: preliminary CTD sensor quality check; determination of the dynamic coefficients associated with time alignment and thermal mass problems; application of pressure filter and velocity filter (0.3 m/s); application of digital filters for erroneous signal removal; and finally average to 2 Hz ready for stage 2 processing.</p>
<p>The processing steps in stage 2 include: static drift corrections as determined from the sensor calibration history; empirical field calibration of the conductivity and oxygen sensors; final QC analysis; and bin average downcast data to 2 dbar. Following experience of profiling with the SBE–35RT temperature probes, appropriate routines are being implemented to assess performance of the SBE–03f units against the SBE–35 and implement correction procedures. It should be noted that only downcast data are processed and reported.</p>
<p>The processing in stage 3 includes the calculation of derived parameters (season, sunrise, sunset, vertical zone) calculated as described in Curry et al. (2026). Three calculations are provided for mixed layer depths: MLD_dens125 is based on Suga et al. 2024, MLD_bvfrq is based on Morison et al. (2019) and Graff et al. (2018), MLD_densT2 is based on Sprintall and Tomczak (1992).</p>

PI Supplied Instrument Name: Instrument Name: Sea-Bird SBE-4 Conductivity Sensor Instrument Short Name:SBE-4 Conductivity Instrument Description: The Sea-Bird SBE-4 conductivity sensor is a modular, self-contained instrument that measures conductivity from 0 to 7 Siemens/meter. The sensors (Version 2; S/N 2000 and higher) have electrically isolated power circuits and optically coupled outputs to eliminate any possibility of noise and corrosion caused by ground loops. The sensing element is a cylindrical, flow-through, borosilicate glass cell with three internal platinum electrodes. Because the outer electrodes are connected together, electric fields are confined inside the cell, making the measured resistance (and instrument calibration) independent of calibration bath size or proximity to protective cages or other objects.
