Description

Moored physical and chemical parameters measured by SBE37 at El Rosario and Isla Natividad sites, Mexico.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

All instruments were mounted vertically on taut-line moorings. Instruments were deployed and recovered by scuba divers. Data were processed using vendor supplied software and quality controlled to remove bad data (salinity below 30 or above 40, temperature below 4 C or above 30 C, pressure < 1 m). No known issues or problems.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:
- corrected the Type_Instrument column as Excel had erroneously incremented values in cells;
- replaced missing data/ blanks and 'NA' with 'nd' (no data);
- replaced spaces with underscores.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird MicroCAT 37

Supplied Name: SeaBIRD SBE37

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird MicroCAT 37

Acronym: CTD MicroCAT 37

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/350/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird MicroCAT CTD unit is a high-accuracy conductivity and temperature recorder based on the Sea-Bird SBE 37 MicroCAT series of products. It can be configured with optional pressure sensor, internal batteries, memory, built-in Inductive Modem, integral Pump, and/or SBE-43 Integrated Dissolved Oxygen sensor. Constructed of titanium and other non-corroding materials for long life with minimal maintenance, the MicroCAT is designed for long duration on moorings.

In a typical mooring, a modem module housed in the buoy communicates with underwater instruments and is interfaced to a computer or data logger via serial port. The computer or data logger is programmed to poll each instrument on the mooring for its data, and send the data to a telemetry transmitter (satellite link, cell phone, RF modem, etc.). The MicroCAT saves data in memory for upload after recovery, providing a data backup if real-time telemetry is interrupted.
