Continuous temperature collected at Dorado Outcrop near Cocos Ridge from deployment during R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24 in 2013 to retrieval by cruise AT26-09 in 2014

Description

This dataset contains a continuous temperature record (2013-12-19 to 2014-12-06) at Marker K of Dorado Outcrop. The sensor was deployed during the R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-09 and recovered during the R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24.

Methods & Sampling

This temperature record was collected by a HOBO temperature logger deployed in conjunction with the green OsmoSampler that was deployed at Marker K. To access data from the OsmoSamplers see the OsmoSampler fluid chemistry dataset page. The temperature logger deployments were made off the west coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific Ocean at Dorado Outcrop during the R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-09 and recovered during the cruise AT26-24. For more information about operations of this cruise see the cruise pages which contain links to cruise reports (AT26-24, AT26-09)

The temperature logger was started before the deployment and was turned off upon recovery on the ship. Increased temperatures relating to deployment and retrieval can be seen in the data.

Data Processing Description

The data have not been processed further.

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:

* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* blank values replaced with no data value 'nd'
* added approximate lat/lon values for Dorado Outcrop sample site
* ISO Date format generated from Date and Time values

Instruments

Temperature Logger

Supplied Name: HOBO model U12- 015 temperature logger

Supplied Description:

Onset Computer Corporation HOBO model U12-015 modified with a titanium pressure case and long-life battery for use in the deep sea. The Onset tools have a working range of –40–100C but a lower resolution (0.02–0.1C across their working range)
