Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Notes on winter survey 2020:
- The 2020 was ice-free, so no Ice type data

BCO-DMO Processing:

Version 1
- changed date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD;
- added ISO8601 date/time field;
- replaced spaces with underscores in column headers.

Version2
- Update the dataset with data from the 2019-2020 winter survey, making it a timeseries dataset (version 2 replaces version 1).
- changed date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD;
- added ISO8601 date/time field;
- replaced spaces with underscores in column headers.
- Added survey plan to supplemental docs

Version 3
- On submitters request: divided the cell abundances by 1000 for the 2018-2019 dataset of the following columns: Aulacoseira_islandica, Stephanodiscus_spp, Fragilaria_spp, Skeletonema_spp, centric_small, Nitzschia, Aphanizomenon_flos_aquae, cryptomonads, Gymnodinium_sp, chlorophytes. Did not do this for the columns named Asterionella, Cyanobacteria, Dinoflagellates, Microflagellates sinc they were already correctly in cells/ml.
- Converted the decimal numbers to integers (no decimals) for all the columns metntioned above.

Version 4
- Version with updated locations (lat/lon).

Instruments

Stainless Steel Sampling Bottle

Supplied Name: stainless steel sampling bottle

Supplied Description:

Near-surface water is collected using a stainless steel sampling bottle. This approach has been adopted rather than use of Go-Flo bottles to accommodate working in ice.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Stainless Steel Sampling Bottle

Generic Description:

A stainless steel sampling bottle used for collecting near surface samples (not a GO-FLO bottle)

Turner Designs 700 Laboratory Fluorometer

Supplied Name: TD-700 fluorometer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Turner Designs 700 Laboratory Fluorometer

Acronym: TD-700

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0510/

Generic Description:

The TD-700 Laboratory Fluorometer is a benchtop fluorometer designed to detect fluorescence over the UV to red range. The instrument can measure concentrations of a variety of compounds, including chlorophyll-a and fluorescent dyes, and is thus suitable for a range of applications, including chlorophyll, water quality monitoring and fluorescent tracer studies. Data can be output as concentrations or raw fluorescence measurements.
