CTD data from McMurdo Sound, Antarctica from 2012 to 2015 (McMurdo Predator Prey project) (NCEI Accession 0277341)

Graphic not available.

This dataset contains biological, chemical, optical, and physical data collected at McMurdo Station during deployment McMurdo_CTDs_2012-2014 from 2012-11-21 to 2015-01-06. These data include Dissolved_Oxygen, O2sat, conductivity from the CTD primary sensor, density, depth, dissolved Oxygen, fluorescence, pH, potential temperature, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, sigma-t, sigma-theta potential density, sound velocity, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird SBE SEACAT 19plus, Niskin bottle, Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor, Wet Labs ECO-AFL/FL Fluorometer, and pH Sensor. These data were collected by Dr David G. Ainley of H.T. Harvey & Associates, Dr Stacy Kim of Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, Dr Grant Ballard of Point Blue Conservation Science, and Dr Kendra L. Daly of University of South Florida as part of the "Food web dynamics in an intact ecosystem: the role of top predators in McMurdo Sound (McMurdo Predator Prey)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

CTD casts in McMurdo Sound

Dataset Description:
This dataset includes temperature, salinity, conductivity, oxygen, depth, sound velocity, chlorophyll fluorescence, and pH measurements from McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Data were collected by CTD, fluorescence, and pH sensors during austral years 2012/2013 and 2014/2015

Publication Dates	publication: 2023-04-01
Data Presentation Form	Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed, especially in columns
Dataset Progress Status	Complete - production of the data has been completed Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility
Data Update Frequency	As needed
Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: A small hole was drilled in the McMurdo Sound fast ice. The CTD was deployed below the fast ice to ~ 2 m depth. The CTD was then powered on and allowed to sit a few minutes until the pumps turned on and sensors stabilized and equilibrated. The CTD was then lowered using a hand winch to depths between 97 and 175 m.
Purpose	This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
Use Limitations	accessLevel: Public Distribution liability: NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. If appropriate, NCEI can only certify that the data it distributes are an authentic copy of the records that were accepted for inclusion in the NCEI archives.
