XCTD data collected during the R/V Mirai MR22-06C cruise

This dataset includes the profiles of CTD measured by Expendable Conductivity-Temperature-Depth Profilers. We observed vertical profiles of sea water temperature and salinity measured by XCTD-1 and XCTD-1N probes manufactured by Tsurumi-Seiki Co. (TSK). The electric signal from the probe was converted by MK-150N (TSK), and was recorded by AL-12B software (Ver.1.6.4, TSK). We launched 81 probes by using the automatic launcher. The ranges and accuracies of parameters measured by the XCTD (eXpendable Conductivity, Temperature & Depth profiler) are as follows;
Parameter Range Accuracy
Conductivity 0 ~ 60 [mS/cm] +/- 0.03 [mS/cm]
Temperature -2 ~ 35 [deg-C] +/- 0.02 [deg-C]
Depth 0 ~ 1000 [m] 5 [m] or 2 [%] (either of them is major)
