Description

Conductivity-Temperature-Depth Entity

Entity Type
Spreadsheet

Data Attribute / Type	Description
SHALLOWCTDID Text	Unique ID for CTD Cast: typically cruise/MISSION ID, REGION (optional), 3-letter island code (LOCATIONCODE), last 4 digits of CTD serial number, cast number/id.
CTDCASTID NUMERIC	Unique numeric ID of CTD cast (4-digit number).
REGIONCODE Text	Code for REGION.
CASTYEAR NUMERIC	4-digit year the CTD cast was conducted (UTCDATETIME).
CRUISE Text	Mission identifier.
LOCATIONCODE Text	3-Letter unique code for LOCATION.
LOCATION Text	Name of island or atoll where the CTD cast was conducted in the Pacific Islands region (REGION).
LATITUDE NUMERIC	Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the CTD cast.
LONGITUDE NUMERIC	Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the CTD cast.
UTCDATETIME DATE	UTC date and time of CTD cast (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss).
WATERSAMPLE Text	A discrete water sample was/was not (TRUE/FALSE) collected in conjunction with the CTD cast.
PRESSURE_DB NUMERIC	Measured pressure value in decibars.
DEPTH_M NUMERIC	Calculated depth value in meters.
TEMP_DEGC NUMERIC	Measured temperature value in degrees Celsius.
COND_S_PER_M NUMERIC	Measured conductivity value in Siemens per meter.
SALN_PSU NUMERIC	Calculated salinity value in Practical Salinity Units (PSU).
DENSITY_SIGMAT NUMERIC	Calculated sigma-t density value, the density of seawater at atmospheric pressure minus 1000 kilograms / cubic meter.
ASSOC_OCC_SITEID Text	An identifier for the fixed climate site associated with the CTD cast, if any. An OCC_SITEID is a 3-dimensional identifier that describes a location (LATITUDE and LONGITUDE) and depth of a fixed NCRMP climate site and includes "OCC" prefix, a 3-letter location code (derived from LOCATIONCODE), and a 3-digit site number. CTD casts are assigned an associated OCC_SITEID (ASSOC_OCC_SITEID) rather than an OCC_SITEID because the CTD profile includes the entire water column rather than a single depth on the benthos. A CTD cast is assigned an ASSOC_OCC_SITEID only if its coordinates are within a 150-m radius of a pre-existing OCC_SITEID; otherwise, no ASSOC_OCC_SITEID is assigned.
ASSOC_REA_SITE Text	An identifier for the ecological site at the island or atoll (LOCATION) associated with the CTD cast. Combines a 3-letter island code (derived from LOCATIONCODE) with a 2-4 digit site number.
OFFSHORE_YN Text	CTD cast was/was not (YES/NO) conducted offshore, where offshore is defined as a cast location (LATITUDE and LONGITUDE) more than 10km away from land (for islands) or the 20m depth contour (for atolls).
SURVEY_DESIGN Text	Survey designs include: casts conducted at permanent climate sites (Permanent); casts co-located with fish or benthic stratified random survey sites (Stratified_Random); casts at random sites not associated with climate, benthic, or fish sites (Random); and casts conducted offshore to collect end member data (End_member).
REGION Text	The name of the region where the CTD cast was conducted in the Pacific Islands region: American Samoa, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Mariana Archipelago, main Hawaiian Islands, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
CTDDATAKEY NUMERIC	Unique numeric ID for each depth bin within a CTD cast (6-digit number).
