Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

   PI:              John Morrison
   of:              North Carolina State University
   dataset:         Processed CTD data from TM casts
 
 
   AESOPS Investigators, Please note:
   Begin and end parameters for time, latitude and longitude are
   provided in the core CTD and Bottle data.  Investigators
   submitting data related to CTD/Bottle casts are urged to use
   the single lat/lon entry from the Chief Scientist's event log.
