2105SH
Cruise Summary
Summary:
CalCOFI 2105SH sailed on NOAA FSV Bell Shimada on May 4 2021 at 0800PDT from 10th Avenue Marine Terminal, San Diego. 44 of 48 science stations were successfully occupied. CTD casts and various net tows were completed at each science station. CTD sampling was reduced due to limited science personnel sailing because of COVID-19 restrictions. Underway science conducted while under transit included visual observations of avifauna, continuous pCO2/pH, and meteorological measurements. The cruise ended at 10th Avenue Marine Terminal, San Diego on May 14 2021 at 1600PDT.

Preliminary Plots
Please note: these data are 1m-bin-average Seasoft-processed CTD data that have not gone through quality control checks or bottle corrections. Anomalies are based on 50-year harmonics (1949-1999).

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) | 0.0012 | 0.0019 |
| Oxygen ml/L | y = 1.0441x+0.0678; R² = 0.9991 | y = 1.0304x + 0.0680; R² = 0.9990 |
| Oxygen umol/Kg | y =1.0458x + 2.9613; R² = 0.9991 | y = 1.0320x +03.0426; R² = 0.9990 |
Single Nitrate (Satlantic ISUS v3 SN111) and Fluorescence (Wetlabs ECO AFL/FL) Sensors
| LINEAR | POLYNOMIAL | |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrate | no data from this cruise | |
| Fluorescence | y= 6.4005x - 0.1646; R² = 0.9947 | y = 0.8391x2+ 6.8458x - 0.1866; R² = 0.9953 |
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.
