Abstract

This dataset includes the 4Hz data from 12 Wire Flyer deployments conducted on R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific from January to February 2017. Data are from a Seabird 49 Fast-CAT CTD, an Aanderaa Optode 4831F, and a Wet Labs Flbb-2k.

Data were collected from Wire Flyer deployments from R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific during January and February 2017. These data are reported directly from the sensors or were calculated using the seawater toolbox. The data have not been corrected for any time lags.

Known Problems/Issues:
There is some difference in the fluorometer data between the up and down casts. We are not sure what is causing this just yet. This can be seen as an obvious striping pattern in the profile plots. The oxygen sensor has a time lag of 5-7 seconds. Applying this amount of lag helps align the up and down casts well. The data here are not time shifted.
