CTD profiles collected with RV Connecticut on the Continental shelf and slope south of Montauk, NY on 14-15 June 2022.
Abstract:
Seven stations on the shelf and slope south of Montauk, NY on 14-15 June 2022 were sampled. Basic hydrographic properties, including temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH were measured and rosette samples were taken for chlorophyll, nutrients, and microplankton. Water was filtered for metagenomics and metatranscriptomics and picked individual microplankters for sequencing. Three to ten depths were sampled at each station. Our shallowest station was on the shelf at 38m and the deepest was at the slope edge at 2400m. Due to limitations of the CTD our deepest sampled depth was 1150m. At the two shallowest stations, we also deployed a Wetstar fluorometer for phytoplankton fluorescence. The CTD data were processed with SeaBird's Seasoft program and converted to spreadsheet format.
