©2026 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset includes water sample data collected using a CTD Niskin Rosette during two Octopus Odyssey expeditions aboard R/V Falkor (too) in June and December 2023. The dataset covers sampling events at Dorado Outcrop and Pampa Submarina, a hydrothermally active area off Costa Rica's Pacific margin. The dataset includes parameters such as sample type, cruise number, station number, cast number, depth, sample code, temperature, salinity, and oxygen concentrations, along with associated observat...

The Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI) CTD-Rosette sampler was used to conduct full-depth water column profiles. Water samples were taken from the Niskins for analysis of phytoplankton, carbonate chemistry, and nutrients. These data will be made available as separate datasets.
The system did not show any inconsistency except for some spikes in the Conductivity sensor 1, but this was seen only in one cast. Because of the depth range, the PAR sensor was not used. CTD data were processed according to the Ocean Best Practices protocol (CalCOFI, 2019, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-1611), using the SBE Data Processing software (version 7.26.7) with the following steps:
1. Data Conversion
2. Window Filter
3. Filter
4. Derive TEOS-10
