Description

Three transects were sampled using the Trace Metal Rosette (TMR) on the CoFeMUG cruise aboard R/V Knorr in 2007. This dataset contains the combined two CTD sensor packages deployed during the transect. Refer to Noble et al. (2012) for detailed information on acquisition and processing.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

CTD: Two CTD packages were employed on KN-192-5, the Knorr's Seabird 911+ CTD package and the science party's Seabird-19 sensor package. The Seabird-19 was deployed on the science party's trace metal rosette for the deep casts to ~5000m, while the ship's CTD was deployed to 800m for upper water casts. The two packages were needed due to wire time constraints, as there was insufficient time to send both rosettes deep at each station. Oxygen data for the two CTD were calibrated with shipboard winkler titrations as described in Noble et al. Limnol. Oceanogr. 2012. The Seabird-19 was calibrated in the factory immediately prior to the cruise.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus

Supplied Name: Seabird 911+ CTD

Supplied Description:

the Knorr's Seabird 911+ CTD package was deployed to 800m for upper water casts

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

CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT 19

Supplied Name: Seabird-19

Supplied Description:

The Seabird-19 was deployed on the science party's trace metal rosette for the deep casts to ~5000m.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT 19

Acronym: CTD SBE 19

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0042/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 19 SEACAT Recorder measures conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth). The SEACAT is self-powered and self-contained and can be deployed in profiling or moored mode. The SBE 19 SEACAT was replaced in 2001 by the 19plus. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics
