DO and temperature from a soloDO logger measured with Alvin during the R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24 at the Dorado Outcrop near Cocos Ridge from November to December 2014

Expand/Collapse All

Description

This dataset contains temperature and dissolved oxygen collected by the submersible Alvin which was integrated with a prototype of the soloDO logger. Approximate latitude, longitude, and depth of the Dorado outcrop sampling site are also included in this dataset. These data were collected during the R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24.

Methods & Sampling

In situ sensor data was collected by Alvin with the soloDO logger (RBR Ltd., Canada). The prototype recorded temperature using an internal RBR probe (0.0018 C resolution), and dissolved oxygen using an Aandera DO probe.

The R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24 went to Dorado Outcrop off the west coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific Ocean at location 9 degrees 5.5 minutes north, 87 degrees 6.0 minutes west. For more information about operations of this cruise see the AT26-24 deployment page and cruise report.

Data Processing Description

The data have not been processed further.

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:

added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
Date and Time values used to generate ISO DateTime format
added approximate latitude and longitude in data for the sampling site
