General CTD Notes - data acquisition notes, logistics, processing - see below.
Please note that these regressions are generated from preliminary CTD vs bottle data and will be reprocessed once final bottle data are available. CTD temperatures and salinities do not usually change 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.

CalCOFI 2010SR General Cruise & Cast Notes:

CalCOFI 2010SR sailed on Sally Ride at 0800 PDT 11 October 2020 from Marfac.  71 of 75 stations were completed. 4 stations were skipped due to weather.

CTD General Notes and Problems:

CalCOFI used their 24-10L CTD-rosette with a two-pin termination, cable grip, deck unit, monitor, mouse &. SIO-CalCOFI used Sally Ride's computer and non-uplink deck unit, surface PAR; and wired/wireless data network.
Standard sensor configuration: dual T, C, & O2 on separately plumbed & pumped horizontal arrays; Wetlabs ECO-Fl fluorometer; C-Star transmissometer; Biospherical PAR & Surface PAR (mounted on the LTER GP van); MBARI-ISUS v3 w/ battery; SBE18 pH; altimeter. Refer to .hdr files for serial & model numbers or the table below. ISUS only worked during the first 20 stations of the cruise.

Setup: Using SIO-CalCOFI's 24-10L bottle CTD-rosette epoxy-coated standard bridle frame.
