Date: Tue, 09 May 2006 11:39:52 -0400 From: "Ruby Becker" Subject: Data submission for BAY HYDROGRAPHER To: Francis Mitchell Hello Francis, It's me again, Thanks for the accession number for NRT-6. Attached is a zip file (BH_CTD_ARCHIVE_OLDFORMAT.zip containing 117 CTD cast files acquired during the 2005 season by the NOAA (S/V) BAY HYDROGRAPHER.. These files were created in an older version of our software and contain a quality code column. The project and survey numbers are in the first header. All the data files were obtained using a Sea-Bird Electronics SEACAT 19 Profiler. Pressure and Temperature are obtained directly from the SEACAT. Salinity is derived using Sea-Bird's software, SBEDataProcessing. All three variables have been averaged into depth bins and then fitted to 1-decibar intervals by means of parabolic fitting. All the filenames have format YYDDDHHM.BHA, where: YY = 2-digit year DDD = day-of-year HH = hour of day (UTC) M = first digit of the minutes of the hour BH indicates BAY HYDROGRAPHER A indicates CTD archive file. I am finally getting the rest of data that I requested early in the year so you will be hearing from me again. Ruby
