Bottle-calibrated dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles from US Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP) cruises in 2020 and 2022 (AR45 and AR69-03)

Abstract

This dataset contains bottle-calibrated dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles collected from Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) casts during cruises in 2020 (AR45) and 2022 (AR69-03) to recover and redeploy Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP) moorings in the Labrador Sea and western Irminger Sea. DO profiles were used in conjunction with oxygen bottle measurements (Winklers) to produce a post-cruise oxygen-calibrated CTD product for scientific use as part of Gases in the Overturning and Horizontal circulation of the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (GOHSNAP), which has added moored oxygen sensors to the OSNAP mooring array, beginning in 2020. This documentation contains overviews of CTD data collection and processing and of the oxygen sensor calibration method. For each cruise, we provide a summary of relevant cruise events, oxygen sensor calibration results, and issues/problems associated with oxygen data collected.
