Description

CTD profiles of temperature, oxygen, salinity, density, fluorescence, PAR, and pH collected in Hood Canal on cruises CB1072, CB1077, and RC008 during 2017 and 2018.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

CTD data were collected from near surface to 5-10 m off the seafloor. Winkler titrations were used to calculate a calibration for oxygen data (equation provided, but not applied to this dataset).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

CTD data from near surface to 5-10 m off the seafloor were processed using Sea Bird software to create 1-m data bins. Oxygen was aligned. Dates and times are in local time, PDT.

Based on modified Winkler titrations, the formula y = 0.9144x + 0.1975 can be applied to the CTD data to calibrate the "Oxygen, SBE 43 (mg/l)" for the 2017 cruises. The formula y = 0.9698x + 0.0691 can be applied for the 2018 cruises.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- concatenated data from separate cruises into one dataset;
- renamed fields.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 9

Supplied Name: Sea-Bird SBE9 CTD

Supplied Description:

Sea-Bird SBE9 CTD profiler equipped with a pH sensor (SBE 18), oxygen sensor (SBE 43), fluorometer (WETLabs ECO-AFL), and Niskin bottles.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 9

Acronym: CTD SBE 9

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 9 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 9 is the Underwater Unit and is most often combined with the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) when deployed from a research 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, fluorometer, altimeter, etc.). Note that in most cases, it is more accurate to specify SBE 911 than SBE 9 since it is likely a SBE 11 deck unit was used. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

pH Sensor

Supplied Name: SBE 18

Supplied Description:

Sea-Bird SBE9 CTD profiler equipped with a pH sensor (SBE 18), oxygen sensor (SBE 43), fluorometer (WETLabs ECO-AFL), and Niskin bottles.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: pH Sensor

Generic Description:

An instrument that measures the hydrogen ion activity in solutions.

The overall concentration of hydrogen ions is inversely related to its pH. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 and indicates whether acidic (more H+) or basic (less H+).

Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Supplied Name: SBE 43

Supplied Description:

Sea-Bird SBE9 CTD profiler equipped with a pH sensor (SBE 18), oxygen sensor (SBE 43), fluorometer (WETLabs ECO-AFL), and Niskin bottles.

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

Supplied Description:

Sea-Bird SBE9 CTD profiler equipped with a pH sensor (SBE 18), oxygen sensor (SBE 43), fluorometer (WETLabs ECO-AFL), and Niskin bottles.

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.
