General CTD Notes - data acquisition notes, logistics, processing - see below. Please note that these regressions are generated from Final CTD vs bottle data and have gone through SIO-CalCOFI's strict data processing and point-checking protocol. CTD temperatures and salinities may not have changed from preliminary data but oxygen, estimated chlorophyll-a, estimated nitrate may change significantly after point-checking. Questionable or mistrip bottle data are removed from these comparisons but may be visible on the CTD.csv plots. For this cruise and future cruises, both primary & secondary sensor profiles vs bottle data will be generated and archived in the downloadable CTD+Bottle data files. These plots are under the "csv-plots\Primary" & "csv-plots\Secondary" subdirectories.
CTD sensor corrections derived by comparing CTD sensor data, 4sec average prior to bottle closure, to bottle samples
Dual T, S, & O2	Primary Sensor	Secondary Sensor
Salinity offset (bottle - CTD salinity; > 350m only; Seabird SBE4)	-0.0004	-0.0034
Oxygen ml/L (dual Seabird SBE43; 2° O2 Calib Off)	y = 1.0103x+0.0092 R² = 0.9996	y = 1.0562x - 0.0003 R² = 0.9996
Oxygen umol/Kg (dual Seabird SBE43; 2° O2 Calib Off)	y =0.0108x+0.8621 R² = 0.9996	y = 1.0562x - 0.0003 R² = 0.9996
Single sensors	Linear	Polynomial
Nitrate - ISUS 4sec ave voltage vs Bottle NO3 (Frank's Satlantic ISUS v3) Cast 001 - 020 (pre-calibration)	y = 36.489x - 1.3351 R² = 0.9466	y = -18.449x² + 57.489x - 2.2373 R² = 0.9626
Nitrate - ISUS 4sec ave voltage vs bottle NO3; Cast 021 - 083 (post-calibration)	y = 27.903x - 4.3872 R² = 0.987
Fluorometer - linear & polynomial regressions	y=7.0294x-0.2322 R² = 0.8105	y = 6.7661x² + 5.5486x - 0.1745 R² = 0.8128

Project:	CalCOFI 1701RL, Winter CalCOFI on NOAA RV Reuben Lasker
Summary:	CalCOFI 1701RL sailed from 10th Ave Marine Terminal, San Diego Jan 05 2017 at 1300PST. The cruise was split into two legs due to severe weather off California Jan 20-24. Leg I Jan 05 - 20: RV Reuben Lasker completed 75 stations successfully before returning to San Diego ~1730PST Jan 20. Leg II 25 - 29 Jan: RV Reuben Lasker departed 10th Ave Marine Terminal at 0900PST 25 Jan and transited N to survey Lines 73, 70, 67, & 63. Remaining shiptime limited RV Reuben Lasker to 8 coastal stations & transects on these lines. CUFES surveying for eggs and performing two CTD profile-only casts per line (no seawater samples).

Partiicpant Forms:	NOAA Medical Forms - required for all cruise participants sailing Jan 05 2017
Ship:	RV Reuben Lasker
Station plan:	104 Stations (95 CalCOFI + 9 SCCOOS) were scheduled and 83 (74 CalCOFI + 9 SCCOOS) were successfully occupied due to severe weather Jan 20-24. Green transit is Leg I returning to San Diego; Blue transits are Leg II N & S transits. Red stations were CUFES surveyed only during the transit south.

Please note that the anomalies are based on 50-year harmonics (1949-1999) and these data are 1m binavg Seasoft-processed CTD data that have not gone through thorough quality control checks or bottle corrections. They are presented to give a general impression of current conditions. Final data plots will be published after all data are processed.
