Cast Scalar Profile Plot (and Data)

Device-level and sensor-level cast scalar profile data products are time or cast delimited scalar products for profile data. Currently, we don't offer the cast-delimited option (future release: a cast is defined as a single pass through the water column, add data file formats (CSV, MAT, etc)). Currently, only plots are available for all Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) profiling CTDs, Oxygen Sensors and Fluorometers. This data is acquired in partnership with PSF for their Salish Sea Marine Survival program where community based fishers go out regularly to collect CTD casts at various locations. Here is an example in Data Search: http://dmas.uvic.ca/DataSearch?location=SSMSP Cast scalar profile plot products produce a plot of the casts over a user specified time-range with the option of breaking them into daily plots (the break occurs at 0800 UTC). 

Please note, the plotting products here are distinct from the Time Series Scalar Profile Plot, as they does not have a time axis. Both sets of plots aim to visualize vertical profile data.

Please consult individual instruments' documentation for more information.

PNG / PDF: Cast Scalar Profile Plot

This data is available as PNG or PDF format plots. See the pages on the PNG and PDF plots.

Cast Scalar Profile plots are plots of depth versus the variable or sensor being plotted. These are the standard CTD cast-type plots. Multiple sensors maybe plotted on multiple x-axes for device-level plots.

For device level plots, particularly for CTDs, we put density, temperature and practical salinity in the first plot, with specific colours while the remaining sensors are plotted in subsequent plots. The second plot contains conductivity and sound speed vs depth. Each plot is colour coded to improve readability. The second plot will have “_2” added on the end of the filename. Here is an example of a device level plot search resulting in two plots:

Here is an example of single sensor plot:
