Oceanography Branch CTD Data Report : CTD_REPORT_2015006HB Oceans and Climate Branch CTD Data Report HB1506

This report presents a summary of surface and bottom temperature and salinity data collected during the Northeast Fisheries Science Center’s HB1506 Fall Bottom Trawl Survey aboard the NOAA FSV Henry B Bigelow. Data was obtained with a Seabird Electronics SBE Model 19+ profiling CTD (s/n 7143) during bongo double oblique tows and selected vertical casts and with a SBE Model 9/11+ s/n 0832 at all other stations. Sea water samples were taken for the purpose of correcting salinity values. A SBE43 Dissolved Oxygen sensor was attached to the SBE 9/11+. The SBE 9/11+ also accommodates a Biospherical Instruments Inc. QSP2300 PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) Sensor. A QSR2200 Surface PAR sensor was located on the flying bridge and relayed data in realtime to the 9/11+ deck unit. The PAR data obtained during the vertical profiling casts is included in the archived CTD data; the surface PAR data will be made available on request. 2020 NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) NEFSC (Northeast Fisheries Science Center) Submitted https://doi.org/10.25923/5qzy-h231 Public Domain 1862
