Sampler Sled cast 1 data profiles from R/V Oceanus cruise OC415-04 in the Sargasso Sea in 2005 (EDDIES project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

The sampling and processing are described in a separate document (see T2 cruise sled methods). The OCB DMO used MATLAB to extract data from original files as submitted by the PI. The cast 1 data are reported separately because a WET Labs fluorometer was deployed on the sled for cast 1.

Change history:
070604: downloaded original data from EDDIES data web site
071030: prepared for and uploaded to OCB database by Nancy Copley (BCO-DMO) and Cyndy Chandler (BCO-DMO)

Note that the data include some bad lat/lon values.
