Description

CTD Profiles - Upcasts - ETNP - NH1315 and NH1410

Processed CTD data for cruise NH1315, Eastern Tropical North Pacific, June 2013
Processed CTD data for cruise NH1410, Eastern Tropical North Pacific, June 2014

Eastern Tropical North Pacific (ETNP) oxygen minimum zone off Manzanillo, Mexico; sampling transects run southeast-northwest along the Colima coast (~19-24°N, 106-116°W) and northeast-southwest off the coast (~14-18°N, 106-115°W)

Measured parameters, including units are listed within the files.
Upcasts only provided, to provide the best oxygen data.

Processing Description

Data Processing:
Using the SeaBird data processing software, with the following steps applied
- Filter: applied to the pressure data only (low pass 0.15s)
- Alignment: applied to the oxygen data only (using a value of 3)
- Loop edit: to mark and remove scans when the CTD is moving less than minimum velocity (set at 0.2 m/s)
- Binned: into 1m depth bins

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

(more info)

Short Name: CTD SBE 911plus

Community Standard Description

Generic Description

The Sea-Bird SBE 911plus is a type of CTD instrument package for continuous measurement of conductivity, temperature and pressure. The SBE 911plus 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 9plus and SBE 11plus is called a SBE 911plus. The SBE 9plus uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3plus and SBE 4). The SBE 9plus 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

CTD unit, SBE 911 plus

Fluorometer

(more info)

Short Name: Fluorometer

Community Standard Description

Generic Description

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.
