Time-at-depth data (to generate histograms) from tagged jumbo squid from R/V R4107, R/V Pacific Storm, Chartered Vessels, R/V cruises in the Monterey Bay vicinity and Gulf of California from 2004-2009 (NCEI Accession 0291420)

This dataset contains data collected on Chartered Vessel, R/V BIP XII, R/V Pacific Storm, and R/V R4107 during cruises Gilly_Squid_CCS1, Gilly_Squid_GOC1, Gilly_Squid_GOC2, and Gilly_Squid_GOC3 from 2008-10-12 to 2008-11-28. These data include depth. The instruments used to collect these data include Wildlife Computers Mk10 Pop-up Archival Tag (PAT). These data were collected by William Gilly of Stanford University as part of the "Hypoxia and the ecology, behavior and physiology of jumbo squid, Dosidicus gigas (Jumbo Squid Physiology)" and "Physiological limits to vertical migrations of the pelagic, jumbo squid, Dosidicus gigas in the Gulf of California (Jumbo Squid Vertical Migration)" projects. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-11-14.

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

Time-at-depth data (to generate histograms) from tagged jumbo squid.

Dataset Description:
Humboldt squid ( Dosidicus gigas ) were tagged from 2004-2009 in the California Current System (CCS) and Gulf of California (GOC). Data include the amount of time spent per depth bin from each tagged squid. Daily histograms can be produced by adding up the counts per day for each depth bin. Each count in the count_night and count_day columns represents 75 seconds of time.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
All data were collected with Mk10-PAT tags (Wildlife Computers, Redmond, WA) attached to living Humboldt squid ( Dosidicus gigas ) as described elsewhere (Gilly et al. 2006). Tags were programmed to sample at 0.5 Hz or 1 Hz. Tags deployed in Monterey Bay (CCS-1through CCS-6; deployed during OCE-0850839) were programmed to transmit time series data (75 s intervals = 0.01333 Hz) for depth, temperature and light to the Argos satellite system. Tags deployed in the Gulf of California (GOC-1 through GOC-6; deployed during OCE-0526640) were physically recovered, and the data were subsampled to match the 75 s interval of the CCS tags. This procedure was also carried out for tag CCS-6 that was recovered but never reported to Argos.

Mk10 PAT tags measure depth from 0 to 2000 m with a resolution of 0.5 m and temperature from 0 to +40 degrees C with a resolution of 0.05 degree C. The tags were used as supplied by the manufacturer without additional calibration.
