<div>In comparing my pump seacat CTD to the ship's CTD, I've discovered that the ship's CTD's fluorescence and beam attenuation are no good, at least for OC449-3. The ship's fluorometer was clearly just not working. &nbsp;The ship's transmissometer misbehaved in a more subtle manner--oceanographically consistent, but of a different pattern than my pump seacat data. &nbsp;I concluded that my pump seacat CTD's transmissometer is the &quot;correct&quot; one by comparing to discrete particulate carbon measurements on particles collected on my pumps. &nbsp;Both particulate carbon concentrations and beam attenuation from my pump seacat CTD show a minimum at 500m at OC449-3 station 3, whereas the ship's CTD shows an anomalous minimum in subsurface beam attenuation at station 2, which is not seem in the particulate carbon concentrations.</div>
