GTC CTD down casts along the US GEOTRACES East Pacific Zonal Transect from the R/V Thomas G. Thompson TN303 cruise in the tropical Pacific from Peru to Tahiti during 2013 (U.S. GEOTRACES EPZT project) (NCEI Accession 0278315)
This dataset contains biological, chemical, optical, and physical data collected on R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN303 in the South Pacific Ocean from 2013-10-28 to 2013-12-17. These data include depth, dissolved Oxygen, fluorescence, light transmission (volts), salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus. These data were collected by Gregory Cutter of Old Dominion University, James W. Moffett of University of Southern California, and Christopher R. German of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "U.S. GEOTRACES East Pacific Zonal Transect (U.S. GEOTRACES EPZT)" project and "U.S. GEOTRACES (U.S. GEOTRACES)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-04-16.

Supplemental Information | Acquisition Description: From the TN303 cruise report: Two types of rosette/SBE9plus CTD casts (ODF/30L-Niskin and GT-C/12L-GoFlo) were made at 36 station locations during U.S. GEOTRACES EPZT. Shipboard CTD data processing was performed automatically at the end of each deployment using SIO/STS CTD processing software v.5.1.6-1. Raw GT-C CTD data and bottle trip files, acquired by SBE Seasave V 7.17a on a Windows XP workstation, were also imported into the Linux processing system, providing a backup of the raw data. At the end of the cruise, all GT-C CTD data were updated in the database using the post-cast Seasave-processed ".btl" file 5-second averaged CTD data, in order to include processed CTD Oxygen values. The 5-second average used resulted in slightly better agreement between CTD and GoFlo salinity values than the shorter 3-second average used for the Niskin rosette. |
