Description

Underway thermosalinograph data from two R/V Kilo Moana cruises carried out as part of the "POWOW" project, KM1301 (POWOW1) and KM1312 (POWOW2).

Methods & Sampling

Data were collected while underway using a SeaBird SBE Micro Thermosalinograph. See the calibration files:
KM1301 (POWOW2) SBE45 Temp Calibration file (PDF)
KM1301 (POWOW2) SBE45 Cond Calibration file (PDF)
KM1312 (POWOW3) SBE45 Temp & Cond Calibration file (PDF)

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO obtained data files from the "km13xx-Finaldata" directory. Master fluorometer files, named "km13xx_uthsl_wfix", were prepared for serving online. The following edits were made:
- parameter names were changed to conform to BCO-DMO conventions;
- the original "code" column was removed from display;
- mon, day, time, and ISO_DateTime_UTC were added programmatically based on the original year, julian day, hour, min, sec, and msec fields.

Instruments

Sea-Bird SBE 45 MicroTSG Thermosalinograph

Supplied Name: SeaBird SBE45 Micro Thermosalinograph

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE 45 MicroTSG Thermosalinograph

Acronym: SBE 45 MicroTSG

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0190/

Generic Description:

A small externally powered, high-accuracy instrument, designed for shipboard determination of sea surface (pumped-water) conductivity and temperature. It is constructed of plastic and titanium to ensure long life with minimum maintenance. It may optionally be interfaced to an external SBE 38 hull temperature sensor.
