Processed multinet CTD data from METEOR cruise M124

Research expedition M124 took place from February 29th to March 18th 2016, saling from Cape Town, South Africa to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. CTD data for 16 stations with a total of 52 individual casts along the cruise track were recorded using a Sea & Sun Technology CTD90M (SN 979), attached to a HydroBios Multi-Plankton-Sampler, down depths of 700m. The CTD was equipped with sensors for temperature (Pt100 model 1509, Thermal Developments International), conductivity (7-pole platinum coated electrode cell in quartz glass, Sea & Sun Technology) and chlorophyll a (Seapoint Chlorophyll Fluorometer, Seapoint). The data files contain the data for temperature, salinity, density and chlorophyll a concentration; as raw data and processed and flagged according to the recommendations for real-time data processing of EuroGOOS and GTSPP, as well as the outlier detection method CoTeDe (https://github.com/castelao/CoTeDe). Biogeographic regions are determined according to Spalding et al. (2012). TEOS-10 unit conversions have been performed with the GSW Oceanographic Toolbox (McDougall and Barker, 2011).
