Ctenophore observations from ROV Doc Ricketts dives during the R/V Western Flyer DEEPC cruise in June of 2016 offshore of California (DEEPC project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

Ctenophore observations from ROV Doc Ricketts dives that were conducted during the R/V Western Flyer MBARI DEEPC Cruise that took place in June of 2016. 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.

Acquisition Description

Ctenophore observations were recorded during ROV Doc Ricketts during dives D856 to D861 offshore of California from the surface to 3600 meters. The species or lowest classification was noted along with the timestamp on the tape.

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.

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