CalCOFI 1001NH: 12 Jan - 04 Feb 2010 on RV New Horizon, 93 stations occupied. Please refer to the CalCOFI 1001NH Cruise Summary webpage for more cruise info:
CalCOFI 1001NH occupied 93 stations between 12 Jan 2010 - 4 Feb 2010. In addition to standard CalCOFI station work, Oozeki Midwater Trawls and Drifter deployments were performed - refer to Cruise Instructions for specific information. 109 stations were scheduled but loss of shiptime due to rough weather resulted in 93 stations occupied.
SIO-CalCOFI's Seabird 911+ with 24-10L bottle aluminum rosette was deployed on each CTD station. Standard sensor configuration consists of: 2-SBE 3plus Temperature, 2-SBE 4 Conductivity, 2-SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen plumbed in parallel with 2-3000rpm pumps. Additional sensors include Seapoint Fluorometer, Wetlabs C-Star 25cm Transmissometer (mislabeled Chelsea/Seatech in .con file; coefficients are correct), MBARI-ISUS v2 Nitrate sensor, Datasonics Altimeter, Biospherical QSP-200L PAR, SBE 18 pH.
There were no sensors changed during this cruise but the ISUS had persistent problems with substantial drop-outs. Maintenance, diagnostic, & lamp-replacement services were by Satlantic was performed post-cruise. On 350mm deep casts, the ISUS, ISUS battery, PAR, & pH sensors were removed since they are not rated greater than 1000m.
