CTD profiles collected with RV Connecticut on the Continental shelf and slope south of Montauk, NY on 14-15 June 2022.

Abstract:

Seven stations on the shelf and slope south of Montauk, NY on 14-15 June 2022 were sampled. Basic hydrographic properties, including temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH were measured and rosette samples were taken for chlorophyll, nutrients, and microplankton. Water was filtered for metagenomics and metatranscriptomics and picked individual microplankters for sequencing. Three to ten depths were sampled at each station. Our shallowest station was on the shelf at 38m and the deepest was at the slope edge at 2400m. Due to limitations of the CTD our deepest sampled depth was 1150m. At the two shallowest stations, we also deployed a Wetstar fluorometer for phytoplankton fluorescence. The CTD data were processed with SeaBird's Seasoft program and converted to spreadsheet format.

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 9

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 9

Acronym: CTD SBE 9

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 9 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 9 is the Underwater Unit and is most often combined with the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) when deployed from a research vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 and SBE 11 is called a SBE 911. The SBE 9 uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 and SBE 4). The SBE 9 CTD can be configured with auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorometer, altimeter, etc.). Note that in most cases, it is more accurate to specify SBE 911 than SBE 9 since it is likely a SBE 11 deck unit was used. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics
