cks of data quality (covered later)
– Turn CTD on deck with pumps off to take on-deck

• Tracking pressure sensor drift
– Collect high quality water samples for in-field sensor
drift tracking
– Collect clean (continuous) down-profiles (no stops) to
perform salinity spiking corrections
– Periodically collect clean down-up casts (no stops) to
evaluate cell thermal mass correction parameters
