Entity Information

Entity Type
Spreadsheet

Data Attribute / Type Description
CTDCASTNAME
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.
CTDDATAID
Long Integer 		Unique numeric ID for each depth bin within a CTD cast (6-digit number).
CTDCASTID
Long Integer 		Unique numeric ID of CTD cast (4-digit number).
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.
REGIONCODE
Text 		Code for REGION.
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.
ISLANDCODE
Text 		3-Letter unique code for LOCATION.
ISLAND
Text 		Name of island or atoll where the CTD cast was conducted in the Pacific Islands region (REGION).
LATITUDE
Double 		Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the CTD cast.
LONGITUDE
Double 		Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the CTD cast.
UTCDATETIME
Date/Time 		UTC date and time of CTD cast (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss); for MP2206 only hh:mm was recorded.
CASTYEAR
Double 		4-digit year the CTD cast was conducted (UTCDATETIME).
WATERSAMPLE
Text 		A discrete water sample was/was not (TRUE/FALSE) collected in conjunction with the CTD cast.
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 		NCRMP survey design associated with the CTD cast. 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).
PRESSURE_DB
Double 		Measured pressure value in decibars.
DEPTH_M
Double 		Calculated depth value in meters.
TEMP_DEGC
Double 		Measured temperature value in degrees Celsius.
COND_S_PER_M
Double 		Measured conductivity value in Siemens per meter.
SALN_PSU
Double 		Calculated salinity value in Practical Salinity Units (PSU).
DENSITY_SIGMAT
Double 		Calculated sigma-t density value, the density of seawater at atmospheric pressure minus 1000 kilograms / cubic meter.
