Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

The hobo logger was attached to the DISC during deployments. The DISC and hobo 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.

The depth of the logger cannot be determined from this data alone and must be compared to the CTD data at the same date / time. See dataset "DISC: Depth, Temperature, and Salinity Data" https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/739541 for CTD data.

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.
