CTD profile data from 2014-2015 R/V C-HAWK MuLTI-2 project cruises in the Gulf of Maine, Coastal eastern Maine, from Frenchman Bay to the Canadian border (NCEI Accession 0278578)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains physical data collected on R/V C-HAWK during cruises MuLTI-2_Across_Shelf, MuLTI-2_Along_Shelf, and MuLTI-2_Mixed in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2014-06-19 to 2015-08-28. These data include conductivity, density, depth, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, sound velocity, and water pressure. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD profiler and Global Positioning System Receiver. These data were collected by Dr Philip O. Yund of Downeast Institute for Applied Marine Research and Education as part of the "An integrated theoretical and empirical approach to across-shelf mixing and connectivity of mussel populations (MuLTI-2)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-06-13.

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

Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: CTD casts at discrete stations located along transects. Most transects are oriented either across-shelf or along-shelf (one is a mixture). Sampling was limited to 2 hrs. in the middle of the tidal cycle, on either flood or ebb tides. CTD was a YSI Castaway: www.sontek.com/productsdetail.php?CastAway-CTD-11. Calibration dates and additional information are supplied in the headers of each data file. Headers also contain coordinates of the instrument at the start and stop of each cast. Frenchman Bay is a long transect that had to broken into two with half run on each cruise, in order to stay within our 2 hour tidal phase window. Hence the renchman Bay cruises have an "Upper" vs. "Lower" designation, but the station coordinates are continuous. To accommodate weather conditions and/or logistical delays, we did not consistently run the same set of stations on each cruise designated "Upper" vs. "Lower" cruise, but the designation indicates the general location of stations.
