Description

Bottle data from the GTC CTD using the GEOTRACES Clean Carousel sampling system (GTC), GEOTRACES Arctic cruise HLY1502.

GTC CTD BOTTLE file name from the Scripps Oceanographic Data Facility (ODF): 20160609ODU

Note: 'FLAG_W' columns correspond to the WHP (WOCE Hydrographic Program) quality flag scheme.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

The Go-Flo bottles were rearranged between casts to eliminate the possibility of sampling bias. See the HLY1502 cruise report for more information on data acquisition.

NOTE: Station 4 cast 3 was abandoned due to non-tripped bottles (note the BTLNBR_FLAG_W values of "9") and repeated as Station 4 cast 5 using the same sample numbers. Disregard information for samples 10611, 10610, 10609, 10608, 10607, and 10606 where CASTNO = 3.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Version history:
2019-07-29: version 4: removed all "placeholder" columns containing no data (-999 only). These columns were included in the original files from ODF to indicate the expected datasets. All data reported from the cruise can by found on the HLY1502 cruise page or on the U.S. Arctic GEOTRACES project page.

2017-05-01: new version (3) served on 2017-05-01] replaces v2: 2016-06-09. Event 6079 was revised and event 6369 was added back to the file. It was present in version 2016-05-17 but missing in version 2016-06-09. SOLUBLE_TH and SOLUBLE_TH_FLAG_W contain no data so blanks were replaced with nd for 'no data'.

2016-06-09: new version (2) served [2016-06-09], replaces v:2016-05-17.

2016-05-17: version 1 served.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- added conventional header with dataset name; PI name; version date;
- added cruise_id column;
- reformatted time as HHMM;
- changed all hyphen, slash, and decimal points in parameter names to underscores (changed TH-232_COLL_0.02MICR to TH_232_COLL_02MICR);
- hour=2400 not legal time; changed day by one and time to 0000 (only for station 41/cast 3/event 6277);
- ZN_DISS and ZN_DISS_FLAG_W duplicated - removed pair with no data;
- 2019-07-29: removed all "placeholder" columns containing no data (-999 only); a list of the removed columns available as a tab-separated file: GTC_Bottle_Removals_20190729.tsv

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

The system included a Dynacon winch with 7300 m of Vectran cable with conductors, clean lab, and Seabird carousel/CTD with 24 12L GO-FLO bottles (and 14 spares), GO-FLO bottles.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Acronym: CTD SBE 911plus

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0058/

Generic Description:

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

GO-FLO Teflon Trace Metal Bottle

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

CTD bottle data from 30-ODF/SIOR (Ocean Data Facility 12 bottle, 30 liter Niskin rosette) and GEOTRACES Clean Carousel sampling system (GTC).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: GO-FLO Teflon Trace Metal Bottle

Acronym: GO-FLO Teflon TM

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/30/

Generic Description:

GO-FLO Teflon-lined Trace Metal free sampling bottles are used for collecting water samples for trace metal, nutrient and pigment analysis. The GO-FLO sampling bottle is designed specifically to avoid sample contamination at the surface, internal spring contamination, loss of sample on deck (internal seals), and exchange of water from different depths.

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

Generic Description:

A Niskin bottle (a next generation water sampler based on the Nansen bottle) is a cylindrical, non-metallic water collection device with stoppers at both ends. The bottles can be attached individually on a hydrowire or deployed in 12, 24, or 36 bottle Rosette systems mounted on a frame and combined with a CTD. Niskin bottles are used to collect discrete water samples for a range of measurements including pigments, nutrients, plankton, etc.
