Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

The Nortek Vector ADV logger was deployed July 11-17, 2017 in a subtropical inner shelf environment (Salinity: 35-36, temperature: 28-31°C) approximately 9 km south of Long Key in the Florida Keys (24° 43.52'N, 80° 49.85'W). The site was located at 9 ± 1 m water depth near the center of a large flat carbonate platform covered with coral sand. The measuring volume of the ADV was adjusted to be ~35 cm above the sediment-water interface.

The velocity data are unprocessed raw data as recorded by the Nortek Vector ADV using the following settings.
Sampling rate: 64 Hz, down-averaged to 8Hz
Nominal velocity range: 0.30 m/s
Burst interval: CONTINUOUS
Samples per burst: N/A
Sampling volume: 14.9 mm
Measurement load: 59 %
Transmit length: 4.0 mm
Receive length: 0.01 m
Number of beams: 3
Software version: 1.37.02

Measurements and data analysis are reported in Huettel et al. (2020).

Known Problems:
Deployment 11-12 July: Measurements could not start before 14:00 due to bad weather preventing earlier deployment.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Data Processing:
Vector 1.39.06 (Nortek) software (for downloading the data from the Nortek Vector ADV)
ORIGIN 2017, Origin labs (for converting Vector data files into .csv files)

BCO-DMO Processing:
- renamed fields to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- concatenated separate files from each deployment into one dataset; added the 'deployment' column.

Instruments

Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter

Supplied Name: Nortek Vector ADV

Supplied Description:

Flow measurements used an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (Vector, Nortek); Serial number VEC 1436; Calibrations: The Nortek Vector ADV was factory-calibrated prior to the deployments.

Accuracy: ± 0.5% of measured value ±1 mm/s
Velocity precision: typ. 1% of velocity range (at 16 Hz)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter

Acronym: ADV

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/384/

Generic Description:

ADV is the acronym for acoustic doppler velocimeter. The ADV is a remote-sensing, three-dimensional velocity sensor. Its operation is based on the Doppler shift effect. The sensor can be deployed either as a moored instrument or attached to a still structure near the seabed.

Oxygen Sensor

Supplied Name: Pyrosience oxygen sensors

Supplied Description:

The Pyrosience oxygen sensors were pre- and post calibrated using air saturated seawater (100% air saturation) and seawater with addition of sodium sulfite (0% air saturation).

Oxygen sensor (Pyroscience) Accuracy:
at 5% a.s./0.44 mg/L ±0.1% a.s. ±0.01 mg/L
at 95% a.s./8.8 mg/L ±1% a.s. ±0.1 mg/L

Resolution:
at 5% a.s./0.44 mg/L 0.05% a.s. 0.005 mg/L
at 95% a.s./8.8 mg/L 0.25% a.s. 0.025 mg/L

Detection Limit: 0.1% a.s. 0.01 mg/L

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Oxygen Sensor

Acronym: Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Generic Description:

An electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed
