Description

Water column properties,
Broadscale CTD stations, 1995 and 1996.

PI NOTES:

The 1995 and 1996 bottle data were collected with a GO rosette mounted above the MK5 CTD. The temperature, conductivity, salinity, and fluorescence data were collected from the CTD data stream when the bottle was tripped (~30 scans are averaged).

The companion object which includes the raw chlorophyll and phaeophytin values for these same cruises is chloro_bottle.

Instruments

CTD Neil Brown Mark 5

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Neil Brown Mark 5

Acronym: CTD NBIS MK5

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Generic Description:

The Neil Brown Instrument Systems Mark 5 CTD is used to measure conductivity, temperature, and depth of sea water. The MK5 profiler has a higher sampling rate then the SeaBird SEACAT. (For the GLOBEC Georges Bank project the Mark 5 was instrumented with an expanded suite of sensors and deployed almost exclusively at GLOBEC Standard stations.)
