Cruise and CTD Data Processing Notes

CalCOFI 0711NH on SIO RV New Horizon successfully occupied 67 of 75 scheduled stations. Three standard stations (80.0 100, 76.7 100.0, 76.7 49.0) & five SCCOOS stations (91.7 26.4, 86.8 32.5, 85.4 35.8, 81.7 43.5, 80.0 50.5), were missed. Acoustic calbration was performed in San Diego Bay Nov 2nd so arrival to the 1st CalCOFI station was ~2300PST Nov 2nd.

Seabird 911+ configuration:
Primary Temperature (#1049), Conductivity (#0722), and O2 sensor (#1075), pumped (#55060); Secondary Temperature (#031324), Conductivity (#2206) pumped (#52236); Wetlabs (CST-490DR) 25cm transmissometer (mislabeled Chelsea/Seatech in con); Seapoint chlorophyll fluorometer (SCF2483 @10x); Benthos/Datasonics Altimeter (#46604); MBARI-ISUS v2 (#111); remote PAR (#4544), RV New Horizon surface PAR was connected.

CalCOFI 0711NH CTD Data Processing & Console Ops Notes

Removed salt fliers on both primary & secondary comparisons.

No deep CTD casts (>800m) were performed this cruise

Only one O2 sensor was deployed and a SBE11v1 Deck Unit - requiring Align-CTD offset of secondary conductivity (0.073sec) was used.

There were problems with the primary sensor array that took five casts to troubleshoot. Turns out the sensors were fine but there were problems with the cables. Solution was finally replacing both sets of T, C cables & the pump Y-cable. It is recommended to use the bottle sample data vs the CTD sensor data. Data quality codes have been added to these casts.

Cast and Console Ops Notes:

Cast 001 sta 93.3 26.7: 9 bottle cast to 75m, 82m bottom; chl max ~18m; primary sensor profiles were extremely noisy so a second cast (001b) was performed without closing bottles. Other problems - there was a hydralic leak that delayed the cast ~20mins; GPS feed to deck unit displaying longitude as "E" instead of "W"
Cast 001B sta 93.3 26.7: recast CTD profiles without stopping for bottles since the sensors were not working properly - same problem, no improvement.
Cast 002 SCCOOS sta 93.4 26.4: 4 bottle cast to 15m; 22m bottom; salinity profile noisy; GPS still flakey
Cast 003 sta 93.3 28.0: 21-bottle cast to 515m; 0-150m T, S, & O2 profiles bad on downcast; GPS still flakey
Cast 004 sta 93.3 30.0: 22-bottle prodo cast to 515m; chl max 28m, 21m secchi; 0-150m T, S, & O2 profiles bad on downcast; GPS still flakey
Cast 005 sta 93.3 35.0: 21-bottle cast to 515m; chl max 16m, secchi 11m; Primary T & C sensors changed but coefficients were not edited, secondary sensor data recorded on console ops but secondary salinity was off; GPS still flakey
Cast 006 sta 93.3 40.0: 21-bottle cast to 515m; chl max 30m; 30m/min to 100m, 50m/min to 300m, 55m/min to 515m; replaced T1, C1, T2, C2, pump y-cable and 2nd pump. Data finally looks good but GPS still displaying E.
