Project: Mechanisms of nutrient input at the shelf margin supporting persistent winter phytoplankton blooms downstream of the Charleston Bump (Long Bay Wintertime Bloom)

CTD casts were conducted in Long Bay, South Atlantic Bight, SE United States from the middle continental shelf (~ 30 m depth) to upper slope (~260 m depth). The primary cross-shelf CTD survey line was off Myrtle Beach, SC between 33.17/-78.33 and 32.76/-77.91. On cruise SAV12-03, CTD profiles were also conducted at stations on parallel cross-shelf lines ~26 km to the SW and NE of the central line.

NOT FINAL - awaiting further calibration.
