MOCNESS net data from R/V Atlantic Explorer cruise AE1918 in July 2019 (NCEI Accession 0278513)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
This dataset contains physical data collected on R/V Atlantic Explorer during cruise AE1918 on 2019-07-25. These data include conductivity, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include MOCNESS1. These data were collected by Amy Maas and Leocadio Blanco-Bercial of Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences and Ann M. Tarrant of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Collaborative Research: Diel physiological rhythms in a tropical oceanic copepod (Zooplankton Diel Rhythm)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-12-02.

MOCNESS data files (net) from AE1918

Dataset Description:
AE1918 was a cruise of opportunity on which two oceanographic sampling activities were conducted: a CTD cast and a MOCNESS net tow. These are the net data from the MOCNESS tow.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Standard MOCNESS procedure. It was observed filtered volumes to be too high (and speeds too high), so flowmeter was "recalibrated" using deployments and files reanalyzed. It is likely that, since the flowmeter was too new, after several recent deployments has finally "broken-in" and now goes faster. Flow calibration was done by running the LVpki software for several profiles looking at average CF values.

Refer to the cruise report for more information. See also: the xmlcon and hdr files under Supplemental Files.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
