Ctenophore observations from ROV Doc Ricketts dives during the R/V Western Flyer DEEPC cruises offshore of California, 2016-2020 (DEEPC project)

Abstract:

Ctenophore observations from ROV Doc Ricketts and Ventana dives that were conducted during the R/V Western Flyer MBARI DEEPC cruises that took place 2016 to 2020. The data include the species or lowest classification possible along with the date, time, depth, and temperature where the organism was observed. The timestamp on the recorded tape is also provided when available.

Description

Acquisition Description

Ctenophore observations were recorded during ROV Doc Ricketts during dives D856 to D920 (2016), D959 to D965 (2017) and 1240 to 1245 (2019 and 2020). Ctenophores collected with the ROV Ventana were from dives 4213 to 4275 (2019 and 2020) in Monterey Bay offshore of California from 200 to 4000 meters. The species or lowest classification was noted along with the timestamp (TapeTimeCode) on the tape when available.

Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:

Data version 2016-12-22
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* converted date and time to ISO timestamp
* rounded temperature and depth to two decimal places and lat/lon to five.

Data version 2017-10-17 replaces version 2016-12-22
* more data added from newer dives
* data parameter names changed, parameter section updated
* "D" added before dive number to be consistent with CTD dataset.
* observer parameter description removed as it was not included in this version of files.

Data version 2020-12-14 replaces version 2017-10-17
* added data from 2019 and 2020 dives
* added D or V to DiveNumber for "Doc Ricketts" and "Ventana", respectively, to agree with CTD dataset.

Future updates to this dataset are planned to include data from new cruises.
