Description:
This report summarizes the September 11 -September 21, 2007 cruise on the NOAA ship R/V Ronald H Brown from Charleston, SC and returning to Charleston, SC involving full-water-column CTD, lowered ADCP, and shipboard ADCP profiles, conducted within the Northwest Providence Channel, 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 Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, a RDI 300 kHz Workhorse Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, and up to 24 10-liter Niskin bottles, was lowered to the bottom. This report includes a description of the calibration procedures and profiles of pressure, salinity (conductivity), temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration. Water samples were also collected at various depths and analyzed for salinity and oxygen concentrations to aid with CTD calibration. A total of 48 CTD-O2/LADCP stations were occupied. PIES/CPIES telemetry was conducted at 5 sites. A total of 72 XBT probes were deployed at 4 CTD stations (2, 3, 5 and 6) as part of a test comparing different XBT models against the CTD profiles. Seven drifters were deployed as part of NOAA's contribution to the Global Surface Drifter Program. A search and recovery mission by the National Oceanography Centre, Southhampton, UK for a lost mooring at the WB4 site was attempted (after a failed attempt to locate the mooring on a previous cruise), but was unsuccessful when communication could not be established.
