Description

Salinity, temperature, and depth data collected at the MBL dock, Woods Hole, MA, USA.

Sutherland, K.R., Costello, J.H., Colin, S.P., and Dabiri, J.O. 2014. Ambient fluid motions influence swimming and feeding by the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. J. Plankton Res. 36(5): 1310–1322. doi:10.1093/plankt/fbu051

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Wind data originated from a local weather station located at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (within 150 m of the sampling location). The temperature and salinity were measured using a Hach Hydrolab MiniSonde 4a.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO edits:
- Modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions.
- Moved date, time_range, and wind_speed into columns.
- Replaced spaces with underscores in 'location' column.
- Inserted lat and lon of the pier (using values provided on the metadata form).
- Replaced blanks with 'nd' and added comments that were in box to the comment column.
