The programme ‘A thermocline nutrient pump’ dataset comprises hydrographic, biogeochemical, biological and meteorological data. Hydrographic profiles, towed and underway measurements and point sources provided information on free-fall turbulence data, current velocities and acoustic backscatter, water column structure including temperature and salinity, the underwater light field, fluorescence and dissolved oxygen. A comprehensive biogeochemical water sampling programme provided details on nutrients, primary productivity, dissolved organic matter and phytoplankton pigments. Biological samples such as zooplankton were obtained from the water column using nets, and from the sea-bed using grabs. Bathymetry and meteorological parameters were measured across the study area. Data collection was undertaken in the Clyde Estuary, the Irish Sea and St Georges Channel and the Celtic Sea, including the territorial waters of the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The data were collected during the period 02 – 26 June 2010 during RRS Discovery cruise D352. Measurements were taken using a variety of instrumentation, including conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profilers with attached auxiliary sensors, bathymetric echosounders, water bottle samplers, nets, acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), remote access water samplers, towed undulators, free-fall turbulence profilers, temperature loggers, grabs and ship flow-through and meteorological packages. The project focused on the effects of wind stress at the sea surface, creating inertial oscillations and shear and mixing across the thermocline. The project also aimed to investigate the mixing in the context of supplying nutrients to the sub-surface layer of phytoplankton commonly seen within the shelf seas in summer, and to assess any possible shifts in the phytoplankton ecology as a response to the supply of nutrients. The programme ‘A thermocline nutrient pump’ was undertaken jointly by the School of Ocean Sciences, University of Wales Bangor and the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL), now the National Oceanography Centre, Liverpool (NOCL). CTD and Sea-Soar data from the programme are held at the British Oceanographic Data Centre. Other data have not yet been supplied.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Data were collected on the RRS Discovery to look at the effects of wind stress at the sea surface and how mixing affects the supply of nutrients to sub-surface plankton communities on shelf seas in summer. Measurements were made in the Clyde Estuary, the Irish Sea and St Georges Channel and in the Celtic Sea in June 2010. Hydrographic measurements were made using CTD profiles, bathymetric echosounders, towed undulators, free-fall turbulence probes, towed temperature logger arrays and ADCPs. Water samples were taken using CTD bottles, nets and bed grabs. Meteorological measurements were made using the RRS Discovery ship meteorological package. The originators supplied the hydrographic data in processed form to BODC for ingestion, along with details on their processing methodologies and quality control procedures. BODC will ingest the data (seismic data excepted) into one of the schemas of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB). During ingestion, BODC undertake quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data. For a full overview, please see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/about/information_technology/data_processing_steps/. BODC supply full information about data collection, data processing and data quality with all data requests to enable users to assess data suitability themselves. Instrument(s) used to collect data: anemometers; fluorometers; current profilers; radiometers; CTD undulators; thermosalinographs; plankton nets; benthos samplers; atmospheric radiometers; salinity sensor; ADVs and turbulence probes; sediment grabs; autoanalysers; balances and scales; bench fluorometers; Differential Global Positioning System receivers; nutrient analysers; microstructure sensors; CTD; transmissometers; discrete water samplers; water body temperature sensor; current meters; dissolved gas sensors; meteorological packages. |
