Data were collected using standard Sea-Bird SBE-9plus CTD, to 1000m or to 10m of bottom depth. Conductivity, temperature, pressure, and dissolved oxygen sensor calibrations were adjusted by Sea-Bird recommended procedures when possible. Details are in metadata documents. Each cast is represented by two text files: a header file (hdr) and data file (asc).
