Description:

Abstract:

A SeaBird Elctronics 911 Plus profiling CTD with dual conductivity and temperature sensors was used aboard the R/V Point Sur during MUSE. The profiling cage is also outfitted with a Beckman dissolved oxygen sensor, a Chelsea fluorometer (Aquatracka), a WetLabs transmissometer, and a Biospherical PAR sensor.

Purpose: These data were collected for oceanographic research.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:

*.BL - where bottles are tripped *.BTL - processed bottle data *.CON - contains information regarding the configuration of the CTD including the calibration constants for all sensors. A snapshot of this file is taken before each file of raw data is acquired. For each file of raw data (eg. CAST025.DAT) there exists a file with the same name that contains the configuration of the instrument package while that set of data was acquired (e.g., CAST025.CON). *.CNV - raw data converted into engineering units. CNV is the default extension used as output for all the SEASOFT modules, if a D or U precedes the *.cnv file, it contains data only from the downcast or upcast, respectively. *.DAT - raw data in binary form *.HDR - contains header data including NMEA latitude and longitude, column names, ranges of values for each column, processing steps already run and the parameters used for each step. *.ROS - raw data collected at same time bottles were tripped
