Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Mixed Layer Depths (MLD) were calculated from CTD downcast profiles at 1-meter resolution based on sigma-t difference of 0.01 kilogram per cubic meter (kg m-3) relative to mean sigma-t of upper 5 meters. Mean values from CTD sensors were averaged for the determined MLD.

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Generic Description:

Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) sensor package from SeaBird Electronics, no specific unit identified. This instrument designation is used when specific make and model are not known. See also other SeaBird instruments listed under CTD. More information from Sea-Bird Electronics.

Sea-Bird SBE 63 dissolved oxygen sensor

Supplied Name: Seabird SBE 63 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE 63 dissolved oxygen sensor

Acronym: SBE-63 DO

Generic Description:

The SBE63 is an optode dissolved oxygen sensor mounted in plastic (600-meter operating depth) or titanium (7000-meter operating depth) housing that interfaces through an RS-232 connection to SeaCAT or MicroCAT CTDs or Navis Argo float. Accuracy is the greater of 3 micromoles per kilogram or 2 %.

Transmissometer

Supplied Name: Seabird C-Star Beam Attenuation Meter (BAM) Transmissometer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Transmissometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/124/

Generic Description:

A transmissometer measures the beam attenuation coefficient of the lightsource over the instrument's path-length. This instrument designation is used when specific manufacturer, make and model are not known.
