Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature, salinity, and calculated sound speed taken by CTD from the research vessel Sea Scout in approaches to Tampa, FL from 2019-05-30 to 2019-06-18 (NCEI Accession 0191825)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and sound speed collected/calculated for the OPR-J317-KR-18 project under contract with NOAA. Sea Bird Electronics SBE19 and SBE19plus CTD sensor measurements of depth, temperature, and conductivity were used for speed of sound calculations through the water column. CTD casts were conducted at least once daily on board the research vessel Sea Scout and more often as needed Data are in ASCII (CNV) format.

Publication Dates	publication: 2019-08-01
Data Presentation Form	Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed, especially in columns
Dataset Progress Status	Complete - production of the data has been completed Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility
Data Update Frequency	As needed
Purpose	These data were collected in support of multibeam data collection. Variations in the speed of sound through the water column will affect the path of the acoustic pulse transmitted from the multibeam system and therefore will affect the depth and position of soundings. The multibeam data collected was corrected for the water column sound speed in real-time using the multibeam control software.
Use Limitations	accessLevel: Public Distribution liability: NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. If appropriate, NCEI can only certify that the data it distributes are an authentic copy of the records that were accepted for inclusion in the NCEI archives.

Processing Steps	Parameter or Variable: Sound Speed (CTD) (calculated); Units: m/s; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Seabird SBE19 and SBE19plus CTD; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Data from CTD (conductivity, temperature and pressure) sensor lowered through the water column to the seafloor. Resulting data uploaded, examined and used to calculate sound speed through water column.; Data Quality Method: Dual CTD casts were obtained periodically and reviewed together as a quality control check to ensure proper working order. The difference between the sound speed measured by the CTD and the sound speed calculated at the multibeam transducer was monitored in the multibeam control software. A difference of more than 2 m/s indicated a new cast may need to be taken..
