Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature, salinity, and sound speed collected by CTD from the research vessel C-Wolf in the Gulf of Mexico, Approaches to Tampa, FL from 2018-08-19 to 2019-02-05 (NCEI Accession 0187660)

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and sound speed data collected for the OPR-J317-KR-18 project under contract with NOAA. Sea Bird Electronics SBE19plus CTD sensors were used for in-situ measurements through the water column. Casts were conducted at least once a day on board R/V C-Wolf and more often as needed. Dual CTDs were obtained periodically to ensure proper working order of sensors. Data are in ASCII (cnv) format.

Supplemental Information
Submission Package ID: 0G07LE
Purpose These data were collected in support of multibeam data collection. Variations in the speed of sound through the water column will affect the path of the acoustic pulse transmitted from the multibeam system and therefore will affect the depth and position of soundings. The multibeam data collected was corrected for the water column sound speed in real-time using the multibeam control software.

Processing Steps
  • Parameter or Variable: Sound Speed (CTD) (calculated); Units: m/s; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Seabird SBE 19plus CTD; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Data from CTD (conductivity, temperature and pressure) sensor lowered through the water column to the seafloor. Resulting data uploaded, examined and used to calculate sound speed through water column.; Data Quality Method: Dual CTD casts were obtained and reviewed together as a quality control check to ensure proper working order. The difference between the sound speed measured by the CTD and the sound speed calculated at the multibeam transducer was monitored in the multibeam control software. A difference of more than 2 m/s indicated a new cast may need to be taken..
