CTD data from sediment coring events taken on board of the R/V Ira C. in September 2018

Abstract:

Water column profile parameters above the sediment sampling sites taken on board of the R/V Ira C. in September 2018.

Expand/Collapse All

Methods & Sampling

CTD data from sediment coring events taken at Miller Island, Damariscotta River Estuary and Pemaquid, Gulf of Maine.

Instrument was held at 1 meter depth for 3 minutes prior to profiling in order for all sensor modules to stabilize.

Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer

Acronym: ECO AFL/FL

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0172/

Generic Description:

The Environmental Characterization Optics (ECO) series of single channel fluorometers delivers both high resolution and wide ranges across the entire line of parameters using 14 bit digital processing. The ECO series excels in biological monitoring and dye trace studies. The potted optics block results in long term stability of the instrument and the optional anti-biofouling technology delivers truly long term field measurements.

WET Labs {Sea-Bird WETLabs} C-Star transmissometer

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: WET Labs {Sea-Bird WETLabs} C-Star transmissometer

Acronym: WL CSTAR Trans

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0160/

Generic Description:

The C-Star transmissometer has a novel monolithic housing with a highly intgrated opto-electronic design to provide a low cost, compact solution for underwater measurements of beam transmittance. The C-Star is capable of free space measurements or flow-through sampling when used with a pump and optical flow tubes. The sensor can be used in profiling, moored, or underway applications. Available with a 6000 m depth rating.
