Environmental data collected by CTD during a deployment of the Environmental Sample Processor (ESP) in Fall, 2014 in Monterey Bay, CA

Expand/Collapse All

Description

Temperature, salinity, depth, chlorophyll, light transmission, and computed dissolved oxygen concentration from a CTD on the Environmental Sample Processor mooring in Monterey Bay during the fall of 2014.

Methods & Sampling

The ESP was fitted with an SBE 16plus CTD (Sea-Bird, Bellevue, WA, USA) and a Turner Cyclops 7 fluorometer (Turner Designs, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) for depth, temperature, salinity and chlorophyll (Chl a) measurements and deployed near Station M0 (36.835 N, 121.901W) at a depth of 8.1m (±0.7). These data were collected from 8 September to 15 October 2014.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- split Datetime into separate columns and calculated ISO_DateTime field
- added lat and lon of ESP mooring for mapping purposes

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT

Supplied Name: SBE 16plus

Supplied Description:

for depth, temperature, salinity

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT

Acronym: CTD SEACAT

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/350/

Generic Description:

The CTD SEACAT recorder is an instrument package manufactured by Sea-Bird Electronics. The first Sea-Bird SEACAT Recorder was the original SBE 16 SEACAT developed in 1987. There are several model numbers including the SBE 16plus (SEACAT C-T Recorder (P optional))and the SBE 19 (SBE 19plus SEACAT Profiler measures conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth)). M ore information from Sea-Bird Electronics.

Fluorometer

Supplied Name: Turner Cyclops 7 fluorometer (Turner Designs, Sunnyvale, CA, USA)

Supplied Description:

for chlorophyll measurements

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic Description:

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.
