HX290CTDdata.readme R.A.Woodgate, March 2006 ======================== Documentation to go with Alpha Helix cruise HX290 data, Aug/Sept 2004, Cruise leader: Rebecca Woodgate, woodgate@apl.washington.edu Funding: ONR (N00014-99-1-0345, Aagaard & Woodgate) and NSF (OPP-0125082, Grebmeier) NOTES: ====== This is calibrated CTD downcast data from the Alpha Helix Cruise, mooring recovery and redeployment cruise Aug/Sept 2004. Data was post-caled and adjusted to bottle samples by Seth Danielson UAF. The bottle-trip data is in file hx290.btl, which is self-documented. This data was collected with a Seabird 911 Plus CTD sampling at 24 frames/second with 2 conductivity and 2 temperature sensors. Salinity offset was determined by applying pre- and post-season factory calibration values, interpolated linearly over the course of the season by month, in conjunction with discrete salinity bottle samples. An offset of +0.0022 was applied to the data used in this compilation. The Data Quality Column is assigned the following values: 0 = Good Data, 1 = Extrapolated, 2 = Interpolated, 3 = Poor Data Quality Other data are all reported as voltages (full range 0-5 volts) and have not been subjected to any quality control. For questions, please contact Rebecca Woodgate, UW.
