Full description
This dataset contains the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected on Franklin voyage FR 03/2002. The voyage took place in the Coral Sea, the Solomon Sea in waters around the Solomon Islands and west of Boganville Island (PNG). This dataset has been processed and archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the cruise report for this voyage and/or the data processing report.Lineage
Progress Code: completedArchived pressure, temperature, salinity & optical transmission. Salinity data flagged as 'suspect, uncalibrated', as no calibration samples collected. Applied conductivity calibration from Fr04/2002, which seems to have improved the accuracy. The difference between the primary and secondary sensors (both temperature & conductivity) is 'noisier' than experienced in the past (see processing report). The combination of this 'noise' and incorrect calibration factors could give salinity errors of up to 0.0035 psu.
The transmissometer data for deployments 1-35 (collected with a Chelsea AquaTracker) is degraded by temperature & hysteresis effects. Deployments 36-40 were collected using a SeaTech unit, and have much better data quality 'noise'.
