• Description:
  This report summarizes the April 13 - May 3, 2011 cruise on the UNOLS ship R/V Knorr involving full-water-column CTD and lowered ADCP profiles, along with shipboard ADCP profiles, conducted within the Florida Straits and east of Abaco Island, Bahamas. At each station, a package consisting of a Seabird Electronics Model 9/11+ CTD O2 system, a RDI 150 kHz Workhorse Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, a RDI 300 kHz Workhorse Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, and 23 10-liter Niskin bottles, was to be lowered to the bottom. This report includes a description of the calibrations procedures and profiles of pressure, salinity (conductivity), temperature, and dissolved oxygen concentration. Water samples were also collected at various depths and analyzed for salinity and oxygen concentration to aid with CTD calibration. A total of 52 CTD-O2/LADCP stations were occupied. PIES/CPIES data were downloaded from 3 sites. There was a successful recovery and deployment of a PIES at the A2 site. Mooring operations include recovery and redeployment of 14 moorings with a mixture of current meters, Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), and temperature/salinity recorders, and bottom landers instrumented with bottom pressure recorders. As part of NOAA contribution to the Global Surface Drifter Program, 8 surface velocity drifters equipped with sea-surface temperature sensors and 3 Argo floats were deployed. doi:10.7289/V5416V09 (http://dx.doi.org/10.7289/V5416V09)
