Description

CTD Stations occupied during the GOMEPRO Project

Methods & Sampling

CTD (conductivity, depth, temperature) casts were taken at discrete stations located along transects, separated by circa 1-1.5 nautical miles. Transects are oriented either across-shelf or along-shelf. Sampling was limited to 2 hrs. in the middle of the tidal cycle, on either flood or ebb tides. See dataset CTD Profiles.

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
- converted latitude and longitude to decimal degrees
- replaced spaces with underscores

Instruments

Global Positioning System Receiver

Supplied Name: YSi Castaway CTD

Supplied Description:

YSI Castaway CTD with internal GPS sensor

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Global Positioning System Receiver

Acronym: GPS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/POS03/

Generic Description:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based radionavigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments of the NAVSTAR GPS transmitter system. Ships use a variety of receivers (e.g. Trimble and Ashtech) to interpret the GPS signal and determine accurate latitude and longitude.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
