This dataset contains biological, chemical, optical, and physical data collected on R/V Blue Heron during cruise BH15-11 in the Great Lakes from 2015-08-26 to 2015-08-28. These data include PAR, conductivity, depth, dissolved Oxygen, fluorescence, pH, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus, CTD-fluorometer, LI-COR Biospherical PAR Sensor, Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor, WETLabs WETStar fluorometer, and Wet Labs CSTAR Transmissometer. These data were collected by Tristan J. Horner of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Calibration of a Novel Nutrient Paleoproxy in the Southern Ocean (Novel Nutrient Paleoproxy)" and "EAGER - Introducing Early Career Scientists to Research on the Great Lakes (Early Career Great Lakes research)" projects. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-08-02.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
CTD casts were conducted using using a Sea-Bird SBE 9 and SBE 11plus V 5.0. The CTD rosette included: WET Labs WETstar, SBE43 (oxygen), WET Labs CDOM, WET Labs C-Star, and Biospherical/Licor sensors. Data were processed (data conversion, filter, loop edit, bin average, ascii out) using Seasave V 7.23.2.

Notes:
- These data include both the up and down cast at each station. Because Niskin bottles were fired at certain depths on the upcasts, "nbin" values may be very high at those depths (because the CTD sat at depth for a longer period of time).
- Cast 002.01 was aborted due to a transmissometer issue.

Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
