ctd 9899pal Oct 21, 1998 - Mar 2, 1999 Temperature and salinity vertical profiles using a seacat pressure [db] temperature, ITS-90 [deg C] transmissometer fluorometer, sea tech time [julian days] potential temperature, ITS-90 [deg C] salinity, PSS-78 [PSU] density [kg/m^3] density, sigma-theta [kg/m^3] depth, salt water [m] flag 24 stations over 4+ months in the Palmer Basin (mainly stations B & E) The Palmer Station CTD system is a SeaBird SBE 19 SEACAT with temperature and conductivity sensors deployed from a zodiac. SeaBird software is used for acquisition and processing. For post-cruise processing the programs are used in the following order: datcnv filter - lowpass filter pressure & conductivity data alignctd - align sensors in depth loopedit - flag for ship roll effects via pressure binavg - average all data into 2 db. bins derive (salinity, density, depth) CTD casts were taken in Palmer Basin in accord with proposed sampling strategy. pressure, temperature, salinity, ctd, seacat, Palmer Columnar ascii files with column definition header. online LTER /data3/data/9899pal/ctd/s87/s19yyjjjc.s87 yy = 2 digit year (98 or 99) jjj = julian day c = character representing cast number of that day Douglas G.
