BCO-DMO Processing Notes
Generated from original files contributed to BCO-DMO as zipped data/docs files by Joseph Montoya

BCO-DMO Edits
- Date formatted to YYYYMMDD
- Time formatted to HHMM
- Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention
- Duplicate date column deleted
- empty cells filled with 'nd' (no data)
- 'trans' parameter added to KM0703 data set with 'nd' for data values
- 'O2_%saturation' added to SJ0609 data set with 'nd' for data values
- Data values padded to consistent decimal places

Deployment-specific processing description

Data Processsing Notes 
Seabird Data Processing v 5.37e was used to post-process the raw data files from KM0703. 
File names have the basic format, km0703_xxx-yy.*, which reflects the station number (xxx) and 
event number (yy) of the cast, and the file type. For example, km0703_011-01.hex is the raw 
data file for hydrocast 011.01 (the first event at station 011). 
This directory contains binned ascii files (*.asc), bottle files (*.btl), binned binary files 
(*.cnv), and header files (*.hdr) for each cast. The data processing routines and parameters used 
are listed below in order of application. 
datcnv 
Produce *.ros bottle summary files. Derive depth, salinity, density & O2 for the rosette summary. 
rossum 
Produce bottle files (*.btl). 
datcnv 
Produce *.cnv cast files for further processing. 
filter 
Filter pressure with a time constant of 0.15 seconds. 
align 
Optimal alignments found iteratively by inspection of S&permil; spikes at sharp T°C gradients. 
Advanced primary conductivity by +0.020 seconds 
Advanced secondary conductivity by 0.00 seconds. 
Optimal O2 advance found iteratively by inspection of O2 vs T°C plot of up/down casts. 
Advanced O2 voltage by 5 seconds. 
celltm 
Processed using default values of alpha = 0.03 and 1/beta = 7 to correct both primary and 
secondary conductivity values using corresponding temperature sensors. 
loopedit 
Filter data using fixed minimum velocity of 0.25 m/s. Remove initial surface soak (10 m) 
derive 
Calculate depth, salinity, density, [O2], potential T. 
binavg 
Average downcast into 1 m bins. Append "_bin" to raw file name. 
asciiout 
Translate to ascii data file (*.asc) , strip the header info and save it as a separate file (*.hdr).

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 911

Supplied Name: CTD Seabird 911

Supplied Description:

CTD-rosette

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 911

Acronym: CTD SBE 911

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0035/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 911 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 911 includes the SBE 9 Underwater Unit and the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 and SBE 11 is called a SBE 911. The SBE 9 uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 and SBE 4). The SBE 9 CTD can be configured with auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.). More information from Sea-Bird Electronics.

Fluorometer

Supplied Description:

Seapoint

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic Description:

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.

Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Supplied Name: CTD Seabird SBE 43

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Acronym: SBE-43 DO

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0036/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 43 dissolved oxygen sensor is a redesign of the Clark polarographic membrane type of dissolved oxygen sensors. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics
