Title: Processed CTD data from six cruises of the DeZoZoo project from R/V Hugh R. Sharp in the Chesapeake Bay from 2010-2011 (DeZoZoo project) (NCEI Accession 0278871)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological, chemical, optical, and physical data collected on R/V Hugh R. Sharp during cruises HRS100524JP, HRS100819JP, HRS100920JP, HRS110525JP, HRS110719JP, and HRS110922JP from 2010-05-24 to 2011-12-21. These data include Dissolved_Oxygen, O2_sat_pcnt, Oxygen in volts, beam attenuation, conductivity, conductivity from the CTD secondary sensor, depth, fluorescence, light_trans, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, salinity calculated from the CTD secondary sensors, sigma-t, temp2, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird 911, Fluorometer, and Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor. These data were collected by Dr James J. Pierson of University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science as part of the "Hypoxia in Marine Ecosystems: Implications for Neritic Copepods (DeZoZoo)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2018-01-24.

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
Data were collected using the shipboard SeaBird 9plus CTD fitted with a variety of sensors. Sensors are listed in the table below:

CTD was lowered to within 2 m of the bottom slowly, with bottom depth determined by CTD mounted altimeter. If samples were collected on a given CTD cast, they were collected as the CTD was raised back to the surface using the attached Rosette fitted with 10L Niskin Bottles.
