The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: |
Oceanographic profile temperature and salinity data using underway CTD, collected by the Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, cruise KN200-2, North Atlantic Ocean, March 2011 (NODC accession 0115494) |
| Abstract: |
The dataset consists of 81 Underway CTD (UCTD) casts in the region north of Flemish Cap. The UCTD is an un-pumped profiling CTD, manufactured by the Oceanscience Group, that can be deployed from a moving ship. The UCTD measures temperature, conductivity, and pressure at 16 Hz. The pressure and its time derivative (descent rate) were low-pass filtered with a filter cutoff period of 2 s. The temperature and conductivity signals were also filtered, but with the filter cutoff period set to 0.25 s. Alignment of the temperature and conductivity was performed as a function of the instrument descent rate using an empirical relationship. Because of the rapid descent rate of the UCTD (up to 4 dbar/s), the measured temperature was corrected for the effect of viscous heating. The effect of the thermal mass of the conductivity cell was accounted for using the standard correction with the parameters determined as a function of the local instrument descent rate. The processed temperature, conductivity, and pressure were used to compute salinity, potential temperature, and potential density. Finally, the data were averaged into 1 dbar bins. |
