Hydrographic measurements collected aboard the UNOLS Ship R/V Walton Smith, 2017: Western Boundary Time Series cruise—Florida Current

Details

• Alternative Title:
  This report summarizes the five cruises along 27◦N on the UNOLS ship R/V Walton Smith involving full-water-column CTD and lowered ADCP profiles, along with shipboard ADCP profiles, conducted within the Florida Straits to monitor the Florida Current. This report describes the processing of a Seabird Electronics Model 9/11+ CTD O2 system and water samples collected from up to 23 10-liter Niskin bottles lowered to the bottom. This report includes a description of the calibration procedures and profiles of pressure, salinity (conductivity), temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentrations. Water samples were also collected at various depths and analyzed for salinity and oxygen concentrations to aid with CTD calibration. A total of nine CTD-O2/LADCP stations were occupied during each of the five cruises.
