CTD hydrography and nutrients from casts conducted on R/V Kilo Moana cruises KM1919 and KM1920 from September to October 2019

Abstract:

The dataset contains the processed bottle files, i.e., depths and associated data collected electronically by the CTD, for all CTD casts during cruises KM1919 and KM1920, along with all nutrient data on casts from which it was collected. The nutrients include nitrate, nitrite, silicate, phosphate, and ammonium. The concentrations for all nutrients are in micromoles per kg as is the CTD oxygen concentration. These two cruises took place on the R/V Kilo Moana from September to October 2019 in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific, off the coast of Mexico and Southern California. The data were collected as part of NSF grant numbers 1542240 to Gabrielle Rocap, Rick Keil, Allan Devol, and Curtis Deutsch along with NSF-1657958 to Allan Devol.

Methods & Sampling

Data were collected CTD during cruises KM1919 and KM1920.

The CTD data has been reprocessed and aligned, and outliers have been removed. Nutrient samples were filtered (Sterivex 0.22um) before analysis and analyzed using the US-JGOFS protocols (http://usjgofs.whoi.edu/protocols_rpt_19.html). All data are considered preliminary.

Known Problems:
Calibration salinity samples analyzed using an AutoSal salinometer agreed with CTD sensor 0, but sensor 1 was significantly off. Consequently, salinity values and derived values (density, oxygen, oxygen saturation) were calculated only from sensor 0. Sensor 1 data not included.

Data Processing Description

Data Processing:
Raw data from the CTD was processed using SeaBird software programs (Data conversion, Align, Thermal mass, Derive, Bin average and Bottle Summary).

BCO-DMO Processing:
- converted dates from Excel format to YYYY-MM-DD;
- renamed fields to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- added Cruise_ID field based on date;
- corrected date for station 8, second occupation.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 911

Supplied Name: CTD-SBE 911

Supplied Description:

CTD-SBE 911; factory calibrations.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 911

Acronym: CTD SBE 911

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0035/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 911 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 911 includes the SBE 9 Underwater Unit and the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a 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, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.).

Supplied Name: Wet labs C-Star

Supplied Description:

Beam attenuation and transmission were by Wet labs C-Star.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: WET Labs {Sea-Bird WETLabs} C-Star transmissometer

Acronym: WL CSTAR Trans

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0160/

Generic 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.
