Acquisition Description

The CTD was moored next to the Environmental Sample Processor (ESP) and sampled seawater ~ every 2.5 minutes while the ESP was filtering seawater. The ESP was located near Station M0 (36.835 N, 121.901W).

Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:
- modified parameter names (removed units; replaced spaces with underscores; rearranged names that started with numbers);
- replaced "#N/A" with "nd" (no data);
- created ISO_DateTime field.

Short Name: CTD SEACAT

Community Standard Description

Generic Description

The CTD SEACAT recorder is an instrument package manufactured by Sea-Bird Electronics. The first Sea-Bird SEACAT Recorder was the original SBE 16 SEACAT developed in 1987. There are several model numbers including the SBE 16plus (SEACAT C-T Recorder (P optional))and the SBE 19 (SBE 19plus SEACAT Profiler measures conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth)). M ore information from Sea-Bird Electronics.

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.

PI supplied instrument name: Turner Cyclops 7 fluorometer
