Abstract
Data presented here are 2 dbar CTD for BATS Validation (BVAL) cruises from Jun 1991 (BVAL cruise #50016) through July 2023 (BVAL cruise #50060). Profiles of primary CTD measurements (Pressure, Depth, Temperature, and Salinity) are reported along with auxiliary data for dissolved oxygen, beam attenuation coefficient, relative fluorescence, and photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR). Profiles were collected using a standard Sea-Bird SBE-09 plus CTD. Data are processed following the methods of Knap et al., 1997 with the final product being reported as two decibar averages and all profiles. It should be noted that the two decibar profiles are reported for the downcast only and bottle marker data collected on the upcast are presented with the bottle data. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/939210
