Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Refer to individual platform deployments for details on CTD data processing.

Deployment-specific processing description

The data were initially processed using SeaBird Electronics' processing with SeaBird's standard, 
recommended parameters. The following post-processing procedure was used for quality control and 
calibration of those resulting files. The procedure used for quality control and calibration post 
processing follows that developed at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in the Eco-FOCI 
(Fisheries and Oceanography coordinated Investigations). 
 
Each cast was visually inspected for reasonableness and for spikes. The criterion used is that 
for 1-m bin data, sigma-t inversions > 0.02 were unacceptable. Temperature or conductivity values 
causing such inversions were removed and the result data gaps were linearly interpolated. 
On most casts, data was extrapolated to the surface from the first data point at 2-3m depth. 
 
Water samples, taken approximately every third station, were analyzed for salinity using an autosal 
aboard the Wecoma. The results were compared to data measured by the CTD sensor to determine the 
calibration correction for the salinitiy values. The resulting corrections were applied to all the 
profile data. 
 
On several casts on EH1 (135-137) the primary sensors were damaged, so secondary sensors were 
used in subsequent calculations for those casts. 
 
Cast039 was not a CTD profile, and is not included.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 911

Acronym: CTD SBE 911

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0035/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 911 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 911 includes the SBE 9 Underwater Unit and the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 and SBE 11 is called a SBE 911. The SBE 9 uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 and SBE 4). The SBE 9 CTD can be configured with auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.).
