Description

CTD station profile data

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

(see platform deployments)

Deployment-specific acquisition description

Methodology 
 
 Change history: YYMMDD
    050706: added to OCB database; Cyndy Chandler (cchandler@whoi.edu), OCB CDMO
    060905: corrected HST time for CTD event 04185_1421 (per Chief Scientist request)
    
 DMO note: As of January 2006, optics data are still raw voltages, and
           have not yet been compared with in-situ data.  The data
           should be used by others with caution until finalized. 

 PIC sensor: voltage 0 - 5: WET Labs PIC 001 (4th build)
 POC sensor: voltage 0 - 5: WET Labs CST-DR 391 - tranmsissometer
 scattering sensor: voltage 0 - 5: Seapoint scattering sensor
