Description

Dissolved O2 and potential density data derived from surface-deployed and vehicle-mounted CTD measurements taken on the R/V Atlantis, R/V Ronald Brown, and E/V Nautilus in the Gulf of Mexico and Florida from 2010 to 2014.

Methods & Sampling

CTD data (temperature, salinity, pressure, and dissolved oxygen) were collected both as water column data from ship deployments and as bottom–water data from a vehicle–mounted CTD. In all years, a SBE 9/11+ CTD was used for water column measurements, while vehicle-mounted CTD usage varied by year: SBE 19 (2010), SBE 37-SI (2012), and SBE 49 (2013, 2014). All dissolved oxygen measurements were collected using a SBE 43 dissolved oxygen sensor.

Data Processing Description

CTD and dissolved oxygen measurements were vertically binned every meter in order to smooth water column profiles prior to additional analyses.

Data Management Office Notes:

-Combined several tabs from the original file into one table.
-Site, cruise, and year were separated into 3 columns. This information was initially in one column.
-Re-formatted column names to comply with BCO-DMO naming standards.

Instruments

Bottle

Supplied Name: Vehicle mounted bottle

Supplied Description:

Water samples collected by vehicle-mounted bottle

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Bottle

Generic Description:

CTD - profiler

Supplied Name: CTD

Supplied Description:

Water samples taken from CTD casts

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD - profiler

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

Generic Description:

The Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) unit is an integrated instrument package designed to measure the conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) of the water column. The instrument is lowered via cable through the water column. It permits scientists to observe the physical properties in real-time via a conducting cable, which is typically connected to a CTD to a deck unit and computer on a ship. The CTD is often configured with additional optional sensors including fluorometers, transmissometers and/or radiometers. It is often combined with a Rosette of water sampling bottles (e.g. Niskin, GO-FLO) for collecting discrete water samples during the cast.

This term applies to profiling CTDs. For fixed CTDs, see https://www.bco-dmo.org/instrument/869934.
