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.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT

Supplied Name: SBE 16plus CTD

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT

Acronym: CTD SEACAT

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/350/

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)).

Fluorometer

Supplied Name: Turner Cyclops 7 fluorometer

Supplied Description:

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.
