Cruise and CTD Data Processing Notes

Excerpt from scientific report - CalCOFI cruise 0901NH, the winter 2009 cruise encountered relatively calm conditions due to the persistent high pressure and off shore winds. Once our calibration of Tony Koslow's new EK-60 sonar was completed inside San Diego Bay, hydrographic data collection could begin. Preliminary hydrographic data revealed the California Current to be strongest well off shore in the range of stations 90 and 100 and beyond. Salinity, 10m & 100m salinity anomalies plus 100m temperature revealed the current flowing in this region and then jetting in to the coast towards Dana Point. Both 10 and 100 meter temperature anomalies showed a preponderance of negative values, this was consistent with our casual observation of cooler than average sea surface temperatures and air temperatures. Windy, stormy conditions were known to have preceded this cruise but the mild conditions may have given way to higher phytoplankton production as seen in higher-than-usual offshore near-surface chlorophyll values. In addition to these observations, nutrients were assayed to be high in some of the same offshore regions, further bolstering the observed productivity of the region. Upon processing data for this cruise, a peculiar down-welling event was evident at Station 83.3 100.0. Higher temperatures and lower nitrate were evident down to 500m. Oxygen was elevated compared to depths at other stations in the region. Density was low enough to be anomalous, but not impossible. This feature will likely be evident in the deep flow field of the California Current (as seen post cruise).

CalCOFI 0901NH CTD Data Processing & Console Ops Notes

Removed salt fliers on both primary & secondary comparisons.

No deep CTD casts (>515m) were performed this cruise

CalCOFI 0901NH CTD Data Processing Notes

Only one O2 sensor was deployed, no PAR or Surface PAR, no pH. These were purchased in mid-2009 and first deployed on CalCOFI 0907M2 when a new 911+ system was bought.
V2 Deck unit was also purchased at that time so this cruise was on v1 Deck Unit - requiring Align-CTD offset of secondary conductivity (0.073sec).
Console ops sheet had pressure instead of depth even though I believe the depth was still targeted.
