Description:
This report summarizes the September 24 - October 10, 2012 cruise on the UNOLS ship Endeavor involving full-water-column CTD and lowered ADCP proles, along with shipboard ADCP proles, conducted within the Florida Straits and east of Abaco Island, Bahamas. At each station, a package consisting of a Seabird Electronics Model 9/11+ CTD O2 system, an RDI 150 kHz Workhorse Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Proler, a RDI 300 kHz Workhorse Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Proler, and 24 10-liter Niskin bottles, was to be lowered to the bottom. This report includes a description of the calibrations procedures and proles of pressure, salinity (conductivity), temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration. Water samples were also collected at various depths and analyzed for salinity and oxygen concentration to aid with CTD calibration. A total of 45 CTD-O2/LADCP stations were occupied. PIES/CPIES data were downloaded from 6 sites. There were two unsuccessful recoveries of PIES (sites C and E), a canceled deployment (site E), and a successful deployment of a PIES (site C). Mooring operations include recovery and redeployment of three tall moorings with a mixture of microcats and current meters, and two bottom landers instrumented with bottom pressure recorders. As part of NOAA contribution to the Global Surface Drifter Program, 10 surface velocity drifters equipped with sea-surface temperature sensors were deployed.
