[indicate subset used]. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. Dataset. https://doi.org/10.25921/xpj5-ss85. Accessed [date] This dataset contains sea water property (profile) data taken by Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) from NOAA Ship Nancy Foster during two merged collaborative fisheries oceanography surveys (described in detail below). Data cover 2016-05-10 to 2016-06-15 period. The vessel's Sea-Bird Electronics (SBE) 911plus CTD system was operated at 119 discrete station locations along the survey track. At each location, the CTD package was lowered from the surface to a predetermined depth, sampling continuously. The CTD was configured with a pressure sensor, dual temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen sensors, a chlorophyll a (chl_a) fluorometer, a colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) fluorometer, and an altimeter. The sensor package was attached to a frame configured with a 24-bottle water sampler and 10-liter Niskin water sampling bottles. The raw CTD data were post-processed to a final state using the SBE Data Processing Software package (Windows-based, publicly available at www.seabird.com). The specific subroutines applied to the data are outlined in the header of each ascii data file found in the dataset (.cnv files). The header of each file also includes the time and location of the cast. In addition to the ascii data in this data submission, .jpg plots of each CTD cast have also been included. These data were not calibrated to bottle samples and are considered final. The measured and derived parameters in this dataset are: Time of Cast (elapsed from start, s) Pressure (Digiquartz, db) Temperature (from primary sensor, ITS-90, deg C) Temperature (from secondary sensor, ITS-90, deg C) Conductivity (from primary sensor, S/m) Conductivity (from secondary sensor, S/m) Dissolved Oxygen Raw Voltage (from primary sensor, SBE 43, 0-5 VDC) Dissolved Oxygen Raw Voltage (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, 0-5 VDC) CDOM Relative Fluorescence (WET Labs CDOM Fluorometer, 0-5 VDC) CHL_A Relative Fluorescence (WET Labs ECO-AFL Fluorometer, 0-5 VDC) Altimeter (when in range, depth off the bottom, m) Depth (in salt water, m) Density (from primary sensors, sigma-theta, kg/m^3) Density (from secondary sensors, sigma-theta, kg/m^3) Potential Temperature (from primary sensors, ITS-90, deg C) Potential Temperature (from secondary sensors, ITS-90, deg C) Sound Velocity (from primary sensors, Chen-Millero, m/s) Sound Velocity (from secondary sensors, Chen-Millero, m/s) Dissolved Oxygen (from primary sensor, SBE 43, ml/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from primary sensor, SBE 43, mg/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from primary sensor, SBE 43, umol/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from primary sensor, SBE 43, umol/kg) Dissolved Oxygen (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, ml/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, mg/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, umol/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, umol/kg) Salinity (from primary sensors, Practical, PSU) Salinity (from secondary sensors, Practical, PSU) The NOAA fleet cruise IDs for these two surveys are NF-16-02 and NF-16-03. However, the CTD were processed together and the cruise ID NF-16-02 refers to data from both cruises. A completed cruise track and project overviews are presented in the included supporting document: NF1602_and_NF1603_CTD_overview.pdf.

The 911plus has eight 12-bit A/D channels, and supports redundant conductivity and temperature sensors or custom auxiliary digital inputs. Nancy Foster (NF) Nancy Foster, one of the most operationally diverse platforms in the NOAA fleet, was originally built as a Navy yard torpedo test (YTT) craft. In 2001, the Navy transferred the vessel to NOAA who outfitted the ship to conduct coastal research along the U.S. Atlantic/Gulf coasts, and the Caribbean. Nancy Foster is named for Dr. Nancy Foster, in tribute to her outstanding contributions in advancing NOAA's mission through her leadership within the National Marine Fisheries Service and National Ocean Service from 1986 until 2000. Nancy Foster supports applied research for NOAA's National Ocean Service and Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. Operations include the characterization of habitats in our nation's National Marine Sanctuaries and coastal waters, water quality studies, maritime heritage surveys, and coral reef assessments. The vessel employs state of the art navigation and propulsion systems resulting in high quality and efficient data collection with cutting edge technology including high resolution multibeam sonars, split beam sonars, and an array of water quality sensors and CTDs. Additional capabilities include water, sediment, and core sampling, sub-bottom profiling, diving with air and NITROX, ROV and AUV operations, small boat operations and servicing oceanographic/atmospheric surface and subsurface buoys..
