Data Processing Description

Notes on winter survey 2020:
- The 2020 was ice-free, so no Ice type data

BCO-DMO Processing:

Version 1
- changed date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD;
- added ISO8601 date/time field;
- replaced spaces with underscores in column headers.

Version2
- Update the dataset with data from the 2019-2020 winter survey, making it a timeseries dataset (version 2 replaces version 1).
- changed date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD;
- added ISO8601 date/time field;
- replaced spaces with underscores in column headers.
- Added survey plan to supplemental docs

Version 3
- On submitters request: divided the cell abundances by 1000 for the 2018-2019 dataset of the following columns: Aulacoseira_islandica, Stephanodiscus_spp, Fragilaria_spp, Skeletonema_spp, centric_small, Nitzschia, Aphanizomenon_flos_aquae, cryptomonads, Gymnodinium_sp, chlorophytes. Did not do this for the columns named Asterionella, Cyanobacteria, Dinoflagellates, Microflagellates sinc they were already correctly in cells/ml.
- Converted the decimal numbers to integers (no decimals) for all the columns metntioned above.

Version 4
- Version with updated locations (lat/lon).

Instruments

Stainless Steel Sampling Bottle

Supplied Name: stainless steel sampling bottle

Supplied Description:

Near-surface water is collected using a stainless steel sampling bottle. This approach has been adopted rather than use of Go-Flo bottles to accommodate working in ice.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Stainless Steel Sampling Bottle

Generic Description:

A stainless steel sampling bottle used for collecting near surface samples (not a GO-FLO bottle)

Turner Designs 700 Laboratory Fluorometer

Supplied Name: TD-700 fluorometer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Turner Designs 700 Laboratory Fluorometer

Acronym: TD-700

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0510/

Generic Description:

The TD-700 Laboratory Fluorometer is a benchtop fluorometer designed to detect fluorescence over the UV to red range. The instrument can measure concentrations of a variety of compounds, including chlorophyll-a and fluorescent dyes, and is thus suitable for a range of applications, including chlorophyll, water quality monitoring and fluorescent tracer studies. Data can be output as concentrations or raw fluorescence measurements.

Parameters

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