Abstract

This dataset contains CTD profile collected on R/V Atlantic Explorer cruise AE1910 during May 2019.

The CTD + 24 bottle sampling rosette was run using standard operating procedures. The bottles were fired on the up cast, 30 seconds after the unit was stopped.

The primary instrumentation for the cruise was the CTD rosette (the standard for the R/V Atlantic Explorer), Reeve net, and the MOCNESS equipped with the SIO electronics. Both the CTD and the CTD rosette operate a SeaBird 9, connected to the same 11 deck box. A tucker trawl (1 m) was also brought on board, but not used. The CTD/rosette was housed in the CTD garage and run from the D5 Winch off the Starboard side. It was on tracks and was pulled back into the CTD garage when conditions were too hot or sea state was poor; otherwise it was sampled directly off the deck. For more information on shipboard operations, refer to the AE1910 cruise report (PDF).
