- Abstract:
- The file
"BM0803_CTD_Processed_Downcast.csv" contains data collected with a CTD
on board the R/V Hugh R. Sharp in upper Chesapeake Bay from 16-22 May
2008 as part of the BITMAX-II program research cruises. A total of 144
casts were made during this cruise that include transects of CTD casts
along the axis of upper Chesapeake Bay as well as time series of CTD
casts at fixed stations.. The comma seperated (csv) file contains
processed, downcast data of date/time, position (geographic and UTM),
temperature, salinity, pressure, raw voltages of auxillary sensors
(turbidity, fluoroesence, and oxygen) , altimiter, and converted values
of turbidity, oxygen, water density, and depth. Raw CTD data were
post-processed in laboratory using SeaBird Software as follows 1) raw
CTD data were converted to engineering units, 2) align Oxygen voltage
(3.5 sec advance), 3) Derive variables, and 4) bin average into using
0.25 meter pressure bins. Data was then QA/QC'd and compiled into a
single data file using programs written in SAS. In addition MatLab
scripts were written to eliminate bad altimeter data, to apply
calibration of OBS NTU values to Total Suspended Solids (TSS) from
collected water samples using standard methods, and to output final csv
file. Instruments on the CTD measured altimetry, conductivity,
temperature, oxygen, fluorometery and optical backscatter. Additional
instruments were attached to the CTD frame to measure zooplankton
biovolume (TAPS) and transmissometry (LISST) that are not included in
this data set.
- Purpose:
- This data was collected to
map the physical and biological conditions in the upper Chesapeake Bay
as part of an effort to identify and understand mechanisms that
influence trophic transfer in the Estuarine Turbidity Maximum. For more
details, see the BITMAX-II program web page (www.BITMAXII.org).

- Data was
collected with a SeaBird 9/11plus CTD with very high quaility sensors
that had factory calibrations with 1 year of data collection. The
primary measurements of temperature, salinity, and depth should be
considered of very high quaility. Auxiliary sensor were also of high

[m]2. Description of processThe raw CTD data files were processed in
Sea-Bird with four steps:1. Data Conversion – converts the raw hex data
to engineering units2. Align CTD – aligns the Oxygen Voltage data with
an appropriate advance time3. Derive – derives additional variables from
the measured variables4. Bin average – averages the variables over bins
of the specified sizeSpecification for these steps can be found in
section 3. Once complete, these steps createdreadable files for each
downcast for each of the cruises. For each individual cruise, thedata
from all of the downcasts in the cruise were compiled into one file
using a SASroutine. Bad data were filtered out by the SAS program
through a bad data “flag” createdby the Sea-Bird software and through
additional specified filters (e.g., negative oxygenconcentrations,
unrealistically high pressures/depths were removed) which are detailed
insection 4. The SAS program also added in variables for the cast
number, date, time, andriver kilometer.The program Corpscon was then
used to calculate the northing and easting coordinatesfrom the latitude
and longitude. These variables (Northing, Easting) were then added tothe
data spreadsheets for each of the cruises.Details on the Sea-Bird and
SAS processing can be found below.3. Sea-Bird SpecificationsData

the downcasts in cruises BM0701 and BM0703 had bad pressure datathat
caused Sea-Bird not to process the entire downcast in the Data
Conversion step. Forthese, the upcast and downcasts were processed, the
bad lines were removed by handfrom the files produced by the Derive
step, and the downcasts only were processed in theBin Average step.4.
SAS Processing InformationThe files for all of the downcasts were then
compiled into one file for each cruise usingthe SAS programC:\Documents
and Settings\ksmith\My Documents\BITMAXII\1_Read-in and combineCTD
files_rkm.sasCriteria for removing bad data:if flag<0 then delete;
(whole line)if press>30 then delete; (whole line)if OxVolt<0 then
OxVolt='.'; (delete oxygen voltage)if DOmll<0 then DOmll='.'; (delete
DOmll)if DOmgl<0 then DOmgl='.'; (delete DOmgl)if DOpercent<0
then DOpercent='.'; (delete DOpercent)The SAS program deleted lines of
data if the flag for bad data was less than 0 (meaningthe line has bad
data) or the pressure was greater than 30 (this would correspond to
adepth greater than any expected during the cruises). The SAS program
also took outoxygen data that was less than 0 and any lines of data at
depths shallower than 0.75 m,since at these shallow depths the CTD was
not yet fully under water. There were anumber of problems in the data
that were found to occur occasionally at the beginning ofthe downcast.
Since these were marked by salinity, temperature, OBS, and DO
profilesthat subjectively “didn’t make sense,” it was difficult for SAS
to pick them outconsistently. Instead, a SAS program flagged lines
deemed likely to have theseproblems, and these lines were each checked
by hand for bad data. The following criteriawere used to flag potential
bad lines of data at depths shallower than 3 m (start of
cast):-time_elapsed < -1-Salinity decrease of more than 0.1 PSU as
the downcast descends to the next deepestbin, or increase of more than
0.4 PSU in the space of one bin (bin size = 0.25 m)- tempdiff > 2
C-Change in temp between consecutive bins greater than 1 C-Surface OBS
> 30 NTU-Surface OBS < -1 NTU-Change in OBS between bins > 10
NTU-Change in DOmgl between bins > 1 mg L-1If a line of data fit any
of these criteria, it was flagged to be checked for deletion. Datawere
deleted according to the following rules:-Sudden, unpredictable changes
in temperature, salinity, OBS, DOmgl profiles near thesurface were
deleted on a case by case basis, along with related data (e.g., if DOmgl
wasbad, the other DO values would also be bad).-If DO, temp, and
salinity all had bad data, the whole line was deleted.A final setp was
taken to remove bad altimeter data and remove data lines where
time_elapsed was less than zero. In addition calibration of OBS NTU
values to Total Suspended Solid (TSS) from water samples collected on
the cruise was applied to produce 'obstss' data field. Data set was
output in comma delimited format (csv).

meters.
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- Vertical position was determined with digiquartz
pressure sensor which is highly accurate, however corrections for
changes in atmospheric pressure were not made so absolute vertical

- Process_Description:
- Corrected
Matlab scripts to remove bad altimeter and time_elapsed data values, so
that proper data alignment was maintained. Also added additional
constraint to remove more obviously bad altimeter data. Many altimeter
data points were removed, but the ones that are remaining allow the
calculation of total water depth with more reliability for most
stations, which is deemed useful such is the justification for retaining
the data field.

density (σ-t density) calculated from primary sensor on SBE9/11plus CTD
on R/V SHARP using SeaBird software.The density of a sea-water sample
measured at atmospheric pressure, i.e. at the sea surface. It is defined
as density minus 1000, where the density is measured in kg/m3. Thus sea
water at 0°C and 35 parts per thousand salinity has a density of 1028
kg/m3, or a σ-t density, at a pressure of 1 bar, of 28.
