Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

The CTD logger was attached to the DISC during deployments. The DISC and CTD logger were left in the water for the duration of a day’s deployments, which lasted anywhere from one to 5 hours, depending on the day. The DISC was sometimes lowered/raised between 9 meters and 18 meters, depending on the scheduled depth of deployments for that day.

A CTD logger was added to the data collection process in the middle of the field season. There was only one logger, and it was attached to DISC A.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Star-Oddi software "SeaStar" was used to generate these data. No further processing was done.

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* blank values in this dataset are displayed as "nd" for "no data." nd is the default missing data identifier in the BCO-DMO system.
* added ISO timestamp (UTC)
* added start/stop lat/lons from deployment information.
