Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO processing:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard
- changed N/A to nd ('no data')
- changed lat and lon to 5 digits post-decimal
- formatted time to hhmm; created separate month, day, year, and ISO_DateTime_Local columns

Instruments

CTD - profiler

Supplied Name: YSI Castawa

Supplied Description:

YSI Castaway

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD - profiler

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Generic Description:

The Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) unit is an integrated instrument package designed to measure the conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) of the water column. The instrument is lowered via cable through the water column. It permits scientists to observe the physical properties in real-time via a conducting cable, which is typically connected to a CTD to a deck unit and computer on a ship. The CTD is often configured with additional optional sensors including fluorometers, transmissometers and/or radiometers. It is often combined with a Rosette of water sampling bottles (e.g. Niskin, GO-FLO) for collecting discrete water samples during the cast.

This term applies to profiling CTDs. For fixed CTDs, see https://www.bco-dmo.org/instrument/869934.

Flow Meter

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Flow Meter

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/388/

Generic Description:

General term for a sensor that quantifies the rate at which fluids (e.g. water or air) pass through sensor packages, instruments, or sampling devices. A flow meter may be mechanical, optical, electromagnetic, etc.
