abstract: Two sets of CTD data were taken during the 2013 Shelfwide Hypoxia cruise off the Louisiana continental shelf. Hydrographic data were obtained with the LUMCON SeaBird 911+ CTD system and a YSI 6820. Nutrient, pigment, suspended sediment, surface salinity, Secchi depth, Winkler results, and station information data were also acquired.
purpose: The physical, biological and chemical data collected are part of a long-term coastal Louisiana dataset. The goal is to understand physical and biological processes that contribute to the causes of hypoxia and use the data to support environmental models for use by resource managers. The size of the hypoxic area is part of the baseline data considered by the Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Nutrient/Hypoxia Task Force.

The weight was lowered to the bottom by hydrowire. With the weight on the bottom, the sonde was positioned approximately 0.5 meters above the bottom. When the oxygen sensor stabilized, a data record of all the sensor values was stored electronically. During the Shelfwide cruise, the sonde was raised in approximately 0.5-meter increments, after D.O. sensor stabilization on the bottom; data records were stored. After storing data for the few meters closest to the bottom, the sonde was raised to two to three meters from the surface and a data record was saved. The sonde was raised and records stored in approximately 0.5-meter increments until finally a record was stored with the sonde submerged but as close as possible to the surface.; Data Quality Information: The YSI 6820 Oxygen sensor was serviced and calibrated before deployment and maintained in accordance with YSI (http://www.ysi.com/) recommended procedure. The Sonde and Logger are returned to the factory at least annually for inspection and service. Shipboard Winkler titrations during the cruises were used to develop regressions against the YSI data in case it was necessary to correct the oxygen data.

Care was taken so that air bubbles were not introduced into the water sample and titration reagents were added immediately to fix the oxygen. Stations and depths were selected as water samples for Winkler analysis based on homogeneity the oxygen profile around that depth, and the need for a distribution of oxygen values across the observed oxygen range.

description: Data Type: DEPTH - SENSOR (measured); Units: meter; Observation Type: in situ; Sampling Instrument: SBE-9+, Paroscientific Digiquartz(r) pressure sensor; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Field Seabird CTD Methodology_Description: The SeaBird CTD number of scans to average in the deck unit was set to one. At the beginning of each hydrocast the entire CTD/Rosette package was soaked while submerged 0.5m to 1.0m below the surface until pump flow and oxygen values observed via the Sea-Bird deck unit indicated the system was operating correctly. Sensor packages are located below the Niskin bottle rosette sampler. In order to minimize the effect of delays in oxygen sensor response time caused by temperature, sensor condition and plumbing configuration, the CTD package was lowered as close to dead slow as possible. The sensor packages were located below the Niskin bottles and rosette. At stations where the watch chief deemed the structure of the oxygen profile contained features useful in post-processing the oxygen data (AlignCTD), the CTD package was raised at the same speed it was lowered. At all other stations, the upcast was rapid in order to save time. Lab SeaBird CTD Methodology_Description: Sea-Bird CTD data were acquired using Seasoft and processed using SBE Data Processing-Win32 software. All scans were processed without averaging or interpolation with a bin size of one scan. In order to compensate for the delay in oxygen sensor response time and improve the alignment between oxygen sensor values and temperature and conductivity sensor values, the Seasoft module ALIGNCTD was used. See Field SeaBird CTD for selection process of which stations were used for alignment. After alignment, the DERIVE function was used to calculate Depth (m). Final data were exported as ascii files. A MATLAB program was used to select a water column profile made up of scans from the downcast of discrete 1-meter (or 0.1-m) measurements. The MATLAB program selected scans as follows: 1) Data from Seabird warm up period sitting on the surface were removed; 2) Upcast data were removed; 3) Data scans were selected at 1.0 meter increments through the water column; 3) When DO values changed significantly (> 1.0 mgO2/L) within 1-meter, scans at 0.1-m intervals were selected within that meter; 4) Minimum oxygen and maximum depth scans were selected.; Data Quality Information: The Paroscientific Digiquartz(r) pressure sensor was factory tested and calibrated at Sea-Bird (http://www.seabird.com/) recommended intervals and maintained and serviced by RV Pelican Electronic Technical support staff in accordance with Sea-Bird procedures.

The sensor packages were located below the Niskin bottles and rosette. At stations where the watch chief deemed the structure of the oxygen profile contained features useful in post-processing the oxygen data (AlignCTD), the CTD package was raised at the same speed it was lowered. At all other stations, the upcast was rapid in order to save time. Lab SeaBird CTD Methodology_Description: Sea-Bird CTD data were acquired using Seasoft and processed using SBE Data Processing-Win32 software. All scans were processed without averaging or interpolation with a bin size of one scan. In order to compensate for the delay in oxygen sensor response time and improve the alignment between oxygen sensor values and temperature and conductivity sensor values, the Seasoft module ALIGNCTD was used. See Field SeaBird CTD for selection process of which stations were used for alignment. After alignment, the DERIVE function was used to calculate Depth (m). Final data were exported as ascii files. A MATLAB program was used to select a water column profile made up of scans from the downcast of discrete 1-meter (or 0.1-m) measurements. The MATLAB program selected scans as follows: 1) Data from Seabird warm up period sitting on the surface were removed; 2) Upcast data were removed; 3) Data scans were selected at 1.0 meter increments through the water column; 3) When DO values changed significantly (> 1.0 mgO2/L) within 1-meter, scans at 0.1-m intervals were selected within that meter; 4) Minimum oxygen and maximum depth scans were selected.; Data Quality Information: The Teledyne Benthos PSA-900 sonar altimeter was factory tested and calibrated at manufacturer recommended intervals and maintained and serviced by RV Pelican Electronic Technical support staff. N.B. Near bottom high altimeter values (>6.0 m) were deleted throughout the dataset, because probes were likely within 1 meter of the bottom.

type: Secchi disk
description: The Secchi disk (or Secchi disc), as created in 1865 by Angelo Secchi, is a plain white, circular disk 30 cm (12 in) in diameter used to measure water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water. The disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity. [Wikipedia, 2021-09-02]
