Full description
This record describes the CTD data collected on Investigator voyage IN2024_V02, titled: "SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series automated moorings for climate and carbon cycle studies southwest of Tasmania." The voyage took place between March 31, 2024 and April 19, 2024 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Hobart.Data for 9 CTD deployments were acquired using the Sea-Bird SBE9+V2 CTD unit #24 (S/N 1354), fitted with 36 twelve-litre bottles on the rosette sampler. Sea-Bird-supplied calibration factors were used to compute the pressures and preliminary conductivity values. CSIRO-supplied calibrations were applied to the temperature data. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values.
The final conductivity calibration was based on a single deployment grouping. The final calibration from the primary sensor had a standard deviation (SD) of 0.0014625 PSU (casts #1-9), within our target of ‘better than 0.002 PSU’. The standard product of 1-decibar binned averages were produced using data from the primary sensors.
The dissolved oxygen data (secondary) calibration fit had a SD of 0.78151 μM (casts #2-6,8,9). The agreement between the CTD and bottle data was good.
Additional sensors include: Altimeter (Tritech PA500), Transmissometer (Wetlabs C-Star ), CDOM, Chlorophyll-a, Scattering (Wetlabs ECO FLCDRTD) were installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD.
The collected data were processed (quality-controlled), and subsequently archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC).
Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the Data Processing Report.
