Description

CTD profiles of temperature, oxygen, salinity, density, fluorescence, PAR, and transmission.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

CTD (Sea Bird SBE 911) casts with WETLabs ECO-AFL fluorometer and SBE 43 oxygen sensor calibrated in the field using modified Winkler titrations.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Data started at 1m depth from surface were processed using Sea-Bird software to create 1-m data bins. Oxygen data were aligned. Dates and times are in local time, PDT.

The O2_mg_L data are aligned (standard procedure for CTD processing is to advance the oxygen 3-7 seconds relative to the pressure).

The oxygen saturation values were the same aligned and unaligned.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 911

Supplied Name: Sea-Birt SBE 911 CTD

Supplied Description:

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.).

LI-COR Biospherical PAR Sensor

Supplied Name: PAR/ Irradiance, Biospherical/Licor

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: LI-COR Biospherical PAR Sensor

Acronym: LI-COR Biospherical PAR

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0074/

Generic Description:

The LI-COR Biospherical PAR Sensor is used to measure Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR) in the water column. This instrument designation is used when specific make and model are not known.

Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Supplied Name: SBE 43

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Acronym: SBE-43 DO

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0036/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 43 dissolved oxygen sensor is a redesign of the Clark polarographic membrane type of dissolved oxygen sensors. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer

Supplied Name: WETLabs ECO-AFL fluorometer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer

Acronym: ECO AFL/FL

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0172/

Generic Description:

The Environmental Characterization Optics (ECO) series of single channel fluorometers delivers both high resolution and wide ranges across the entire line of parameters using 14 bit digital processing. The ECO series excels in biological monitoring and dye trace studies. The potted optics block results in long term stability of the instrument and the optional anti-biofouling technology delivers truly long term field measurements.
