-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Data submission from NRT-4 for 2008 season Date: Thu, 04 Dec 2008 11:09:17 -0500 From: Ruby Becker To: NODC DataOfficer Hello Tom, Attached are 2 zip files containing data from sound velocity casts acquired by Navigation Response Team 4 (NRT-4) during the 2008 survey season. 1. NRT4_SVD_2008.zip contains 16 SVD files 2. NRT4_CTD_2008.zip contains 8 CTD files Total: 24 files File 1 contains individual cast files acquired by an Odom Digibar Pro profiler, serial number 98150. Each of these cast files contains header information followed by depth and sound velocity obtained directly from the Digibar Pro. File 2 contains individual cast files acquired by a Sea-Bird Electronics. SBE 19Plus SEACAT profiler, serial number 4674. Each of these cast files contains header information followed by Pressure, Temperature, and Salinity obtained down the water column. Pressure and Temperature were obtained directly from the SEACAT. Salinity was 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 YYDDDHHMM.N4D or YYDDDHHMM.N4A where YY = 2-digit year DDD = day-of-year HH = hour of day (UTC) MM = minutes of the hour N4 indicates NRT-4 in the Great Lakes D indicates an SVD archive file. A indicates a CTD archive file
