SCICEX'93 Surface CTD Casts from USS Pargo

The data in directory SurfaceCTD are the 20 CTD casts made at surface
stations from SCICEX'93, the Arctic Ocean scientific submarine cruise
of the USS Pargo during August-September 1993.  The instrument was a
Sea-Bird SBE 19.  Each ASCII file begins with six header lines including
time (GMT) and position.  The following data are five space-delimited
columns: 
1.  Pressure  (decibars)
2.  Temperature  (C)
3.  Conductivity  (Siemens/meter)
4.  Salinity  (ppt)
5.  Density  (Sigma-theta)

There is a data line approximately every one meter (decibar) of depth
(pressure).  There was enough cable to reach below 500 meters.  Not
every cast is full-depth.

The first few lines of file SfcCTD01 are as follows:
