Description | |
Summary | During five cruises CTD data were collected on board R/V AEGAEO from an extensive grid of stations with nominal spacing of one half degree in latitude and longitude. Denser grid was occupied across the Straits of the Cretan Arc. The CTD profiler was equipped with pressure, temperature and conductivity sensors, calibrated by the Sea Bird Electronics. The measurements were taken at a rate of 24 scans/sec and averaged in situ over one second intervals, thus obtaining measurements at about 0.7 dbar intervals. The salinity data were calibrated against water sample salinity, measured by an AUTOSAL salinometer. CTD data aimed to obtain a definitive knowledge of the phenomenology and to define and understand the dynamics and the physical process occurring in the area of the Straits of the Cretan Arc and over a broader region on either side of the Straits. A total of 450 stations were held during PELAGOS fieldwork. |
