Surfzone Coastal Oil Pathways Experiment (SCOPE) CTD casts near Santa Rosa Island, Florida, December 2013

This dataset contains temperature, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, sound velocity, and density data collected with CTD casts on 6-17 December 2013 off Santa Rosa Island, Florida, as part of the Surfzone Coastal Oil Pathway Experiment (SCOPE), focused on measuring the inner-shelf and surf-zone processes responsible for oil transport. There were seven casts on each of the first two days, and twelve on the third day. The water column was sampled down to a depth of about 10-23 m, depending on location. The nominal sampling rate was 2 seconds. The intensive three-week SCOPE field campaign also employed a cross-shore array of fixed instruments to measure winds, waves, currents, and water properties from 10 m water depth to the shoreline; surface drifters; dye releases; and moving-vessel measuring platforms. This unique set of observations is valuable both for quantifying nearshore physics and mixing estimates, and for assessing nearshore model forecasts. The observations captured a wide range of wind- and wave-forcing due to a number of synoptic winter storms that occurred during the experiment. This dataset was created by the Consortium for Advanced Research on Transport of Hydrocarbon in the Environment (CARTHE). This research was made possible by a grant from BP/The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative.本数据集包含2013年12月6日至17日在佛罗里达州圣罗莎岛近海通过CTD（Conductivity Temperature Depth，温盐深仪）站位采集的温度、电导率、比电导率、盐度、声速与密度数据。本数据集作为沿岸带石油输运实验（Surfzone Coastal Oil Pathway Experiment, SCOPE）的一部分，旨在量化负责石油输运的陆架内层与近岸带过程。实验前两日每日布设7个CTD站位，第三日布设12个站位。根据站位位置不同，水体采样深度范围约为10至23米，名义采样速率为2秒/次。本次为期三周的密集SCOPE野外科考作业还布设了跨岸固定仪器阵列，用于在10米水深至岸线范围内监测风场、波浪、流场与水体理化属性；此外还部署了表面漂流浮标、染料释放装置与移动船舶测量平台。这套独特的观测数据兼具重要研究价值：既可用于量化近岸物理过程与混合过程评估，也可用于验证近岸数值模型的预报结果。实验期间恰逢多场天气尺度冬季风暴，因此本次观测覆盖了多样的风与波浪强迫条件。本数据集由环境碳氢化合物输运高级研究联盟（Consortium for Advanced Research on Transport of Hydrocarbon in the Environment, CARTHE）构建。本研究得到了BP与墨西哥湾研究倡议（The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative）的资助。
