Franklin in October 1990, July 1992 and November 1993. The area of operations was between 2˚S and 6˚N along 147˚E and between 10˚S and 10˚N along 155˚E. The ADCP data is presented in 8 meter bins at 20 minute averages along the major transects. CTD data for each cruise is presented as individual stations. The first 12 lines in each profile are header information: ship, date, start time, bottom time, finish time (UTC), cruise number, start position, bottom position, and finish position (as dd mm.ss), maximum depth and ocean depth. The CTD data, plus density (as sigma-t), fluorescence and PAR is presented in 2 meter bins. Where no information is presented under a header (e.g. PAR, fluorescence) the sensor was not present on the CTD during the cast. Fluorescence profiles from a SeaTech fluorometer mounted on the CTD converted to chlorophyll-a profiles using a regression of fluorescence burst data (taken when a niskin bottle is closed) and the extracted chlorophyll sample at that depth. The fluorescence profiles were calibrated using chlorophyll-a evaluated using the trichromatic equations for FR 9008, but HPLC chlorophyll-a on FR 9205. The regressions are given in the metafiles. Where possible, the extracted chlorophyll-a data have been depth-matched and included on the data files. The parameters sampled from niskin bottles (salinity, nutrients, chlorophyll and pigments, bacteria and cyanobacteria, lipids, nutrients, primary production) use the same template, derived from the hydrochemistry sampling sheets, but are in separate directories. The general form is for each station to be listed, along with a counter, time and date of sampling, station position, niskin number and position on the rosette (when supplied), and then the data. Radionuclide data was taken at one site on FR 9205, and three on FR 9308, and consisted of measurements of dissolved and particulate 226Ra, 210Pb, and 210Po. Underway data are found in the Surface CO2 directories. Surface pCO2 data measured using an equilibrator are from FR 9205 only, and contain date, time, position, surface temperature and salinity, atmospheric pressure and fCO2 data. There are estimates of pCO2 from pH studies in surface waters from FR 9008, FR 9205, and FR 9308. These files contain Files in the Underway Data directory contain date, time, position, surface temperature, salinity, fluorescence (in uncalibrated Turner units), pH and pCO2 data. The free-floating sediment trap data, from FR 9308 only, consists of HPLC pigments and pigment flux estimates, and flux estimates for dry weight, carbonate, organic matter, and total carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus fluxes. Zooplankton was sampled on FR 9205 and FR 9308 using a 200 micron mesh aperture free-fall plankton net. Settled volumes and dominant taxa only were recorded. 1) To measure vertical and horizontal profiles of pH, carbon dioxide and fluorescence in waters of the western equatorial Pacific Ocean. 2) To study the primary and secondary productivity of these waters. 3) To study the physical, chemical and biological processes that determines the vertical fluxes of carbon across the air-sea interface and within the water column. 4) To study the chemical, physical and biological processes leading to increased biomass along the equator at the western boundary of the Pacific Ocean. 5) To use chemical methods, such as lipid and pigment analyses, to characterize the phytoplankton community structure within different water masses. These cruises were part of the CSIRO Divisons of Fisheries and Oceanography JGOFS research programs funded by the Department of Industry, Science and Technology Greenhouse Project. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded NCEI Accession 0000569 was revised and a new version of the archival package was published.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian ADCP ADCP Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile. As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements. bottle bottle any type of water bottle sampling device Generic name for water collection device; usually used to determine temperature, salinity and provide water aliquots for measurement of a wide range of parameters; often referred to by a specific type of water sampling bottle, such as a Nansen or Niskin bottle.
