CTD data collected on three NSF RAPID Plankton cruises on R/V Point Sur and R/V Pelican in the Gulf of Mexico during 2017-2018 (NCEI Accession 0278700)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains biological, chemical, optical, and physical data collected on R/V Pelican and R/V Point Sur during cruises PE18-18, PE18-21, and PS1813 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2017-11-03 to 2018-03-22. These data include O2 saturation, Oxygen in volts, PAR, beam attenuation, colored dissolved organic matter, conductivity, density, depth, dissolved Oxygen, fluorescence, light_trans, potential temperature, and salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird SBE 911plus, Fluorometer, LI-COR Biospherical PAR Sensor, Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor, and Wet Labs CSTAR Transmissometer. These data were collected by Astrid Schnetzer of North Carolina State University, Simon Geist of Texas A&M, Corpus Christi, and Beth Stauffer and Kelly L. Robinson of University of Louisiana at Lafayette as part of the "Collaborative Research: RAPID-HARVEY: Response of plankton assemblages and trophodynamics to a historic, hurricane-induced floodwater plume in a subtropical, pelagic environment (RAPID Plankton)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-08-05.

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: On each cruise, the CTD was lowered to within 10m of the bottom, or to the target max depth at standard speeds (30m/min first 100m, 60m/min thereafter). Water samples were collected in Niskin bottles during the upcast. CTD cast ended at approx. 2-5m, which counted as the surface for each cast. Known Problems: RAPID Plankton Cruise 1 (PS1813): Station 10, parameter (CDOM) malfunction observed. RAPID Plankton Cruise 3 (PE18-21): Stations [6-10] WETLabs sensor applied for fluorescence parameter; Stations [1-5] Seapoint sensor applied for fluorescence parameter; Fluorecence sensor changed due to the malfunction of sensor during cruise.
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.
