CTD and underwater mass spectrometer data acquired in 2016 aboard the RV/Endeavor (cruise EN575) in the the subtropical Atlantic using a Triaxus tow vehicle.
Data collected from Pt. Everglades, Florida to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, crossing Gulf Stream and several mesoscale eddies between 28 and 40 N. The SWIMS instrument uses a quadrupole mass analyzer to measure in-situ gas concentration. Ion currents were calibrated using an in-situ calibration technique and a Recurrent Neural Network to remove bias introduced by pressure and temperature changes on the membrane inlet.
In this application we towed the mass-spectrometer through water depths from 0 to 150 m aboard a Triaxus tow vehicle, corresponding to region where sunlight penetrates the surface ocean. The SWIMS was used to measure oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen in seawater.
