Methods & Sampling

CTD casts were conducted using a Seabird CTD. The data underwent QC including smoothing and binning using SeaBird software.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- added lat, lon, time, and sheet name columns
- combined all data sheets together on column names.
