Oceanographic Mooring and CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) Data in Terra Nova Bay, 2017-2018
The mooring was deployed from February 2017 through February 2018 at 74.97° S, 163.96° E, approximately 7km east of the Nansen Ice Shelf in a region of TNB. The purpose of this study was to utilize data from a uniquely positioned and densely instrumented mooring to calculate HSSW production rates in TNB from continuous, in-situ observations.
Moored instrumentation consisted of 7 SeaBird Electronics conductivity and temperature (SBE37-SM/SMP MicroCAT) sensors at depths of 47, 95, 119, 144, 168, 219, and 360 m and an upward-facing 600 kHz Nortek Acoustic Wave and Current (AWAC) profiler at 37 m depth, collecting both current velocity profiles in the upper ~35 m of the water column as well as Acoustic Surface Tracking (AST) measurements.
Temperature and salinity measurements were validated against a shipboard conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) cast performed upon deployment of the mooring. Temperature and salinity at 47 m and 95 m were additionally validated against a CTD cast performed upon recovery of the mooring.
