Dataset Description

The BATS CTD dataset in CMAP is a collection of CTD casts taken from the Bermuda Ocean Time-series Study (BATS). The CTD record begins in late 1988 and continues until the end of 2016. Pressure, temperature, conductivity, salinity , dissolved oxygen, beam attenuation coefficient, fluorescence and PAR measurments were collected with the Sea-Bird CTD instrument package. Sensor details can be found in chapter three of the BATS report methods document: http://bats.bios.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/report_methods.pdf Cruise ID is in the following format: 8 digits $XXXX###, where $= cruise type, 1=bats core, 2=bats bloom a, 3=bats bloom b, 5=bats validation, XXXX= cruise number
