This dataset includes profile, undulating profile, biological and physical data collected aboard the OCEANUS during cruises OC340 and OC343 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1999-03-30 to 1999-06-30. These data include TEMPERATURE, FLUORESCENCE, LIGHT TRANSMISSION, SIGMA-T, SALINITY, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, SIGMA-THETA and Potential temperature (theta). The instruments used to collect these data include Undulating towed profiler and CTD. These data were collected by Jack Barth of Oregon State University and Dave Hebert of University of Rhode Island as part of GB. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-04-25.

The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO:

The seasoar is a towed, undulating vehicle which records CTD and other data. The system records SeaBird CTD data at 24 hz, and it had other sensors on the A/D channels. The seasoar gets towed along different tracklines to map out various survey areas. Each time the seasoar is deployed and recovered is one "tow", and each of the cruises have a number of tows.

PI: Jack Barth (OSU), Dave Hebert (URI)
dataset: SeaSoar CTD data
project/cruise: R/V Oceanus Cruise 340 and 343 to Georges Bank
ship: Oceanus

Hebert, D., J. A. Barth, D. Ullman, S. Fontana and W. Ostrom, 1999. Cruise Report: R/V Oceanus Cruise 340 to Georges Bank, 28 March to 12 April 1999. US GLOBEC NW Atlantic/Georges Bank Study, 37 pp.

Methods are described in:

SeaSoar CTD Observations During the Coastal Mixing and Optics Experiment: R/V Endeavor Cruises from 14-Aug to 1-Sep 1996 and 25-Apr to 15-May 1997. R. O'Malley, J.A. Barth, A. Erofeev, J. Fleischbein, P.M. Kosro and S.D. Pierce. College of Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis. Reference 98-1, Data Report 168, October 1998.

These are flat files, with data every 1-sec for each tow. The tows are numbered sequentially (tow1, tow2, etc).

Notes:
1. There are two fields for different fluorometers: flvolt (aka FL-1) is from a WetLabs Wetstar fluorometer, while flvolt_2 (aka FL-2) is from a WetLabs FlashPAK fluorometer.
2. Original field name is shown in parentheses in the "Description" column.
3. There were some problems in the data fields whenever the lat/lon were interpolated for lack of GPS observations. The OC343 data files were replaced on-line with the reprocessed files October 16, 2000.
