CTD profiles from R/V Pluteus cruises in Coos Bay, Oregon during 2014 and 2015 (Storm larvae project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

CTD data from cruises during 2014 and 2015 to study spawning during storms and subsequent dispersal and settlement of invertebrate larvae.

Methods & Sampling

These data were obtained from ship-based CTD profiling, using one of several different CTD sensors (the actual sensor brand and serial number are included in each datafile header, i.e. RBR or SeaBird). The time, location, and general conditions were noted and a CTD cast was taken from the vessel.

Data Processing Description

The data are parsed into upcast and downcast data. Then, we bin average the downcast profiles into 1-meter bins. The CTD samples at least 6 Hz, so many measurements go into each 1 m data value. The 1-meter, bin averaged data are reported here.

DMO notes:
metadata in header taken to compose toplevel file and units information put in parameter metadata
standardized headers to include PI, project and version date
for 2015 data, changed -999 to 'nd'
