Data processed using Sea-Bird’s SBE Data Processing program/SeaSoft, version 7.23.2
Data processing protocol adapted from CalCOFI methods, found here: https://calcofi.org/data/ctd/165-ctd-processing/330-ctd-data-processing-protocol.html
Raw .hex files were converted to ASCII .cnv files without skipping scans; hysteresis correction was applied to oxygen data. A 9 s median window filter applied to all variables, and a 0.15 low pass filter was applied to pressure data only. A 4 s delay was applied to the raw oxygen data and v1 (also oxygen) as recommended in Sea-Bird’s software manual. Default settings were used for the cell thermal mass correction. Depth, potential temperature, salinity, density, oxygen concentration (tau correction applied), oxygen saturation, dynamic meters, and specific volume anomaly were derived from existing data using the EOS-8 option in SeaSoft.
Casts were not split or binned, because these steps obscure or eliminate the hydrothermal plume signal seen in the temperature data at the bottom depths of the casts.
Files were converted to .csv format using the text to column function in Microsoft Excel.

Dataset-specific Instrument Name | Sea-Bird SBE 9 CTD rosette used for data and sample collection |
Generic Instrument Name | CTD Sea-Bird 9 |
Dataset-specific Description | Used with a Sea-Bird SBE11plus deck unit |
Generic Instrument Description | The Sea-Bird SBE 9 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 9 is the Underwater Unit and is most often combined with the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) when deployed from a research vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 and SBE 11 is called a SBE 911. The SBE 9 uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 and SBE 4). The SBE 9 CTD can be configured with auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorometer, altimeter, etc.). Note that in most cases, it is more accurate to specify SBE 911 than SBE 9 since it is likely a SBE 11 deck unit was used. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics |

Generic Instrument Name | Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor |
Generic Instrument Description | The Sea-Bird SBE 43 dissolved oxygen sensor is a redesign of the Clark polarographic membrane type of dissolved oxygen sensors. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics |
Dataset-specific Instrument Name | WET labs ECO-NTU Turbidity Meter |
Generic Instrument Name | Turbidity Meter |
Generic Instrument Description | A turbidity meter measures the clarity of a water sample. A beam of light is shown through a water sample. The turbidity, or its converse clarity, is read on a numerical scale. Turbidity determined by this technique is referred to as the nephelometric method from the root meaning "cloudiness". This word is used to form the name of the unit of turbidity, the NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit). The meter reading cannot be used to compare the turbidity of different water samples unless the instrument is calibrated.

(One example is the Orion AQ4500 Turbidimeter) |
Dataset-specific Instrument Name | |
Generic Instrument Name | Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer |
Generic Instrument Description | The Environmental Characterization Optics (ECO) series of single channel fluorometers delivers both high resolution and wide ranges across the entire line of parameters using 14 bit digital processing. The ECO series excels in biological monitoring and dye trace studies. The potted optics block results in long term stability of the instrument and the optional anti-biofouling technology delivers truly long term field measurements.

Generic Instrument Name | WET Labs {Sea-Bird WETLabs} C-Star transmissometer |
Generic Instrument Description | The C-Star transmissometer has a novel monolithic housing with a highly intgrated opto-electronic design to provide a low cost, compact solution for underwater measurements of beam transmittance. The C-Star is capable of free space measurements or flow-through sampling when used with a pump and optical flow tubes. The sensor can be used in profiling, moored, or underway applications. Available with a 6000 m depth rating.

Description from NSF award abstract:
Hydrothermally active sediments in the Guaymas Basin are dominated by novel microbial communities that catalyze important biogeochemical processes in these seafloor ecosystems. This project will investigate genomic potential, physiological capabilities and biogeochemical roles of key uncultured organisms from Guaymas sediments, especially the high-temperature anaerobic methane oxidizers that occur specifically in hydrothermally active sediments (ANME-1Guaymas). The study will focus on their role in carbon transformations, but also explore their potential involvement in sulfur and nitrogen transformations. First-order research topics include quantifying anaerobic methane oxidation under high temperature,in situ concentrations of phosphorus and methane , and with alternate electron acceptors; sulfate and sulfur-dependent microbial pathways and isotopic signatures under these conditions; and nitrogen transformations in methane-oxidizing microbial communities, hydrothermal mats and sediments.
This integrated biogeochemical and microbiological research will explore the pathways of and environmental controls on the consumption and production of methane, other alkanes, inorganic carbon, organic acids and organic matter that fuel the Guaymas sedimentary microbial ecosystem. The hydrothermal sediments of Guaymas Basin provide a spatially compact, high-activity location for investigating novel modes of methane cycling and carbon assimilation into microbial biomass. In the case of anaerobic methane oxidation, the high temperature and pressure tolerance of Guaymas Basin methane-oxidizing microbial communities, and their potential to uncouple from the dominant electron acceptor sulfate, vastly increase the predicted subsurface habitat space and biogeochemical role for anaerobic microbial methanotrophy in global deep subsurface diagenesis. Further, microbial methane production and oxidation interlocks with syulfur and nitrogen transformations, which will be explored at the organism and process level in hydrothermal sediment microbial communities and mats of Guaymas Basin. In general, first-order research tasks (rate measurements, radiotracer incorporation studies, genomes, in situ microgradients) define the key microbial capabilities, pathways and processes that mediate chemical exchange between the subsurface hydrothermal/seeps and deep ocean waters.
