Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Sensors were deployed on a titanium trace metal rosette (TMR) in tandem with trace metal clean bottle samples during the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer cruise (NBP18-01) from December 2017 to February 2018 in coastal Antarctica. TMR casts were performed at 26 stations in the Amundsen Sea, Ross Sea and Terra Nova Bay. Parameters collected include pressure, temperature, conductivity, oxygen, fluorescence, beam transmission, PAR, and salinity.

The profiles in the dataset are from the up-cast of the TMR cast. More information on sensor data acquisition and processing can be found in "Data Report NBP18-01" from the United States Antarctic Program prepared by Matt Pullen and Bryan Chambers (see Supplemental Docs section). Trace metal rosette sensors are detailed on p.29.

For all duplicate sensors, the primary sensor was used for temperature and conductivity, and the secondary sensor was used for oxygen in the final hydrography dataset.

Problem report:
The PAR sensor was only included on the TMR beginning at station 35.

Sea-Bird SBE-4 Conductivity Sensor

Supplied Name: Sea-Bird 4C 10500m conductivity sensor

Supplied Description:

Trace metal rosette had hydrographic sensors including Sea-Bird 4C 10500m conductivity sensor

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE-4 Conductivity Sensor

Acronym: SBE-4 Conductivity

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0417/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE-4 conductivity sensor is a modular, self-contained instrument that measures conductivity from 0 to 7 Siemens/meter. The sensors (Version 2; S/N 2000 and higher) have electrically isolated power circuits and optically coupled outputs to eliminate any possibility of noise and corrosion caused by ground loops. The sensing element is a cylindrical, flow-through, borosilicate glass cell with three internal platinum electrodes. Because the outer electrodes are connected together, electric fields are confined inside the cell, making the measured resistance (and instrument calibration) independent of calibration bath size or proximity to protective cages or other objects.
