Tom,

Attached are 3 zip files containing data from sound velocity casts 
acquired by the NOAA Ship FAIRWEATHER and its launches for their project 
in Endicott Arm.

1. FA_LAUNCH1_CTD_2008_5.zip contains 22 CTD files
2. FA_LAUNCH2_CTD_2008_5.zip contains 7 CTD files
3. FA_CTD_2008_5.zip contains 4 CTD file

Total: 33 files

The headers in all the files contain Project, Survey, Date, Time, 
Latitude, Longitude, and Instrument information.

Pressure and Temperature were obtained directly from a Sea-Bird 
Electronics 19Plus Seacat Profiler . 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.

The filenames for the files have format YYDDDHHMM.ssA where:
YY = 2-digit year
DDD = day-of-year
HH = hour of the day (UTC)
MM =  minutes of the hour
ss indicates the vessel: FA for the ship, F1, F2 for launches 1010, 1018 
respectively.
A indicates that the archive is of type CTD
