Processing Description

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 (Bd) and by time (Bt)

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:

Data were received as one-meter bin averaged Seabird CTD .cnv files. For station 1, the fluorometer data were bad and the sensor was replaced for the remaining stations, which recorded PAR and fluorescence. The fluor field was flagged with "nd" for bad data for station 1. Extraneous parameters used for acquisition purposes were hidden.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Supplied Name: Seabird CTD

Supplied Description:

Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) sensor package from SeaBird Electronics, no specific unit identified. This instrument designation is used when specific make and model are not known. See also other SeaBird instruments listed under CTD. More information from Sea-Bird Electronics.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Acronym: CTD SBE 911plus

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0058/

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

Fluorometer

Supplied Name: WET Labs ECO CDOM Fluorometer

Supplied Description:

A CTD-fluorometer is an instrument package designed to measure hydrographic information (pressure, temperature and conductivity) and chlorophyll fluorescence.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

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.

LI-COR Biospherical PAR Sensor

Supplied Name: PAR/Irradiance

Supplied Description:

The LI-COR Biospherical PAR Sensor is used to measure Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR) and irradiance (SPAR) in the water column.

Instrument Type
