2001RL

Cruise Summary

Summary:

CalCOFI 2001RL sailed on NOAA FSV Reuben Lasker on 04 Jan 2020 at 1400PDT from 10th Avenue Marine Terminal, San Diego. All 104 science stations were successfully occupied. CTD casts and various net tows were completed at each science station. Underway visual observations of marine mammals were conducted while under transit and sonobuoys deployed before stations as the acoustic component. Other underway science included continuous pCO2/pH and meteorological measurements. The cruise ended in San Francisco at Pier 30/32 on 26 Jan 2020 at 1300PDT.

CTD Processing Notes

CTD Sensor Corrections:

Derived by comparing sensor data (4 sec avg prior-to-bottle closure) to bottle samples.

Dual Salinity (Seabird SBE4) and Oxygen (Seabird SBE43) Sensors

PRIMARY SENSOR SECONDARY SENSOR
Salinity offset (bottle - sensor; > 350 m)

-0.00101

Oxygen ml/L

y = 1.058x - 0.0277; R² = 0.9996

Regressions:

Please note: these regressions are generated from preliminary CTD vs bottle data and will be reprocessed once final bottle data are available. CTD temperatures and salinities do not usually change but oxygen, chlorophyll-a, and nitrate may change significantly after QAQC. Questionable or mistrip bottle data are removed from these comparisons but may be visible on the CTD.csv plots. For this cruise and future cruises, both primary & secondary sensor profiles vs bottle data will be generated and archived in the downloadable CTD+Bottle data files. These plots are under the “csv-plots\Primary” & “csv-plots\Secondary” subdirectories.
