Conductivity, temperature, and depth were sampled via an instrument cast from a small boat. Casts were conducted immediately before and after the associated larval vertical distribution sampling (see ) and on both flood and ebb tides. For more information see the open-access publication Weinstock et al., 2018.
Each cast_name includes the date and tidal phase combination with names including “mm_dd_yy tidephase cast”. The first cast was conducted immediately before the larval vertical distribution sampling described in the accompanying dataset file, and the second cast was conducted immediately after larval sampling. An additional descriptor stating the site name (e.g. MB1) is included in the cast_name from 8/16/12 onwards when two different sites were sampled on the same date.
