CTD Sea-Bird 911

The Sea-Bird SBE 911 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 911 includes the SBE 9 Underwater Unit and the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a 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, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.).

Processing Description
The data were initially processed aboard ship using SeaBird's processing with their standard, recommended parameters. The procedure used for quality control and calibration post processing follows that developed at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in the Eco-FOCI (Fisheries and Oceanography coordinated Investigations. Each cast was then inspected for reasonableness and for spikes using the criterion that for 1-m bin data, sigma-t inversions > 0.02 were unacceptable. Temperature or conductivity values causing such inversions were removed and the result data gaps were linearly interpolated. Due to the Atlantis' method for conducting CTD deployment during the first 135 casts, many values for variables (T, Sal, Fluorescence, Oxygen) at the top of the profiles needed to be discarded in the top few meters. The ship's method was to turn the CTD on while the instruments were on deck. On some of those casts, significant spiking to 15-18m occurred. After cast 135 a better methodology for conducting CTD casts was instated. This procedure involves taking the CTD to 10m, then the pump is tuned on. After 1-2 minutes the CTD is brought to the surface and the cast is begun. Using his method resulted in a big improvement in the quality of near surface measurements. Water samples, taken approximately every third station, were taken to calibrate salinity. The results were compared to data measured by the CTD sensor to determine the offset of the CTD data. After the salinity calibration was applied, densities, and dynamic heights were recalculated. http://bcodata.whoi.edu/ECOHAB_PNW/NODC_DataDocForm_EH3b.pdf">Link to NODC Data Form 24-13 for Atlantis cruise number AT11-17 CTD Data Submission BCO-DMO Processing/Edits Original ".txt" file imported into spreadsheet ECOHAB-PNW master cruise id added to dataset for compatibility with other ECOHAB-PNW datasets Supplied cruise parameter retained as CruiseId_CTD Additional parameters added for overall standardization between ECOHAB-PNW CTD datasets These parameters have "nd" (no data) entered for values » Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention Some renamed to BCO-DMO standard (date, time, lat, lon) Spaces removed or replaced with underscores Duplicate parameter names individualized Parameter units removed from names Single Date/Time parameter split into two parameters (date and time) date reformatted to YYYYMMDD time reformatted to HHMMSS Longitude converted signed for West longitude (negative) by subtracting 360.0 from supplied value Data values padded with decimal places as appropriate Error values changed to BCO-DMO standard of "nd" "9999" changed to "nd" "-1.00E+10" changed to "nd"

Processing Description
The data were processed using SeaBird Electronics' processing with their standard, recommended parameters. The procedure used for quality control and calibration post processing follows that developed at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in the Eco-FOCI (Fisheries and Oceanography coordinated Investigations). Each cast was then inspected for reasonableness and for spikes using the criterion that for 1-m bin data, sigma-t inversions > 0.02 were unacceptable. Temperature or conductivity values causing such inversions were removed and the result data gaps were linearly interpolated. Water samples, taken approximately every third station, were analyzed for salinity using an autosal aboard the vessel. The results were compared to data measured by the CTD sensor to determine the calibration correction for the salinitiy values. The resulting corrections were applied to all the profile data. http://bcodata.whoi.edu/ECOHAB_PNW/NODC_DataDocForm_EH5b.pdf">Link to NODC Data Form 24-13 for Melville cruise id TUIM14MV CTD Data Submission BCO-DMO Processing/Edits » Original ".txt" file imported into spreadsheet » ECOHAB-PNW master cruise id added to dataset for compatibility with other ECOHAB-PNW datasets Supplied cruise parameter retained as CruiseId_CTD » Additional parameters added for overall standardization between ECOHAB-PNW CTD datasets These parameters have "nd" (no data) entered for values » Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention Some renamed to BCO-DMO standard (date, time, lat, lon) Spaces removed or replaced with underscores Duplicate parameter names individualized Parameter units removed from names » Single Date/Time parameter split into two parameters (date and time) date reformatted to YYYYMMDD time reformatted to HHMMSS » Longitude converted signed for West longitude (negative) by subtracting 360.0 from supplied value » Data values padded with decimal places as appropriate » Error values changed to BCO-DMO standard of "nd" "9999" changed to "nd" "-1.00E+10" changed to "nd"

Processing Description
The data were initially processed using SeaBird Electronics' processing with SeaBird's standard, recommended parameters. The following post-processing procedure was used for quality control and calibration of those resulting files. The procedure used for quality control and calibration post processing follows that developed at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in the Eco-FOCI (Fisheries and Oceanography coordinated Investigations). Each cast was visually inspected for reasonableness and for spikes. The criterion used is that for 1-m bin data, sigma-t inversions > 0.02 were unacceptable. Temperature or conductivity values causing such inversions were removed and the result data gaps were linearly interpolated. On most casts, data was extrapolated to the surface from the first data point at 2-3m depth. Water samples, taken approximately every third station, were analyzed for salinity using an autosal aboard the Wecoma. The results were compared to data measured by the CTD sensor to determine the calibration correction for the salinitiy values. The resulting corrections were applied to all the profile data. On several casts on EH1 (135-137) the primary sensors were damaged, so secondary sensors were used in subsequent calculations for those casts. Cast039 was not a CTD profile, and is not included. http://bcodata.whoi.edu/ECOHAB_PNW/NODC_DataDocForm_EH1b.pdf">Link to NODC Data Form 24-13 for Wecoma cruise number W0306A CTD Data Submission BCO-DMO Processing/Edits » Original ".txt" file imported into spreadsheet » ECOHAB-PNW master cruise id added to dataset for compatibility with other ECOHAB-PNW datasets Supplied cruise parameter retained as CruiseId_CTD » Additional parameters added for overall standardization between ECOHAB-PNW CTD datasets These parameters have "nd" (no data) entered for values » Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention Some renamed to BCO-DMO standard (date, time, lat, lon) Spaces removed or replaced with underscores Duplicate parameter names individualized Parameter units removed from names » Single Date/Time parameter split into two parameters (date and time) date reformatted to YYYYMMDD time reformatted to HHMMSS » Longitude converted signed for West longitude (negative) by subtracting 360.0 from supplied value » Data values padded with decimal places as appropriate » Error values changed to BCO-DMO standard of "nd" "9999" changed to "nd" "-1.00E+10" changed to "nd"

The resulting corrections were applied to all the profile data. http://bcodata.whoi.edu/ECOHAB_PNW/NODC_DataDocForm_EH2b.pdf">Link to NODC Data Form 24-13 for Wecoma cruise number W0308C CTD Data Submission BCO-DMO Processing/Edits » Original ".txt" file imported into spreadsheet » ECOHAB-PNW master cruise id added to dataset for compatibility with other ECOHAB-PNW datasets Supplied cruise parameter retained as CruiseId_CTD » Additional parameters added for overall standardization between ECOHAB-PNW CTD datasets These parameters have "nd" (no data) entered for values » Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention Some renamed to BCO-DMO standard (date, time, lat, lon) Spaces removed or replaced with underscores Duplicate parameter names individualized Parameter units removed from names » Single Date/Time parameter split into two parameters (date and time) date reformatted to YYYYMMDD time reformatted to HHMMSS » Longitude converted signed for West longitude (negative) by subtracting 360.0 from supplied value » Data values padded with decimal places as appropriate » Error values changed to BCO-DMO standard of "nd" "9999" changed to "nd" "-1.00E+10" changed to "nd"
