Hi Francis,

Attached is zip file BH_CTD_ARCHIVE_2006.zip containing 47 CTD cast
files acquired during the 2006 season by the NOAA R/V BAY HYDROGRAPHER.

All the files are in the old WHOI CTD Exchange Format. Data were
acquired using a Sea-Bird Electronics Seacat 19Plus (or 19) Profiler.

The headers contain the Project Number, Survey Number, Date, Time,
Latitude, Longitude, and Instrument information.

Pressure and Temperature were obtained directly from SBE 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.

All the filenames in the zip file have format YYDDDHHM.BHA where :
YY = 2-digit year
DDD = day-of-year
HH = hour of the day (UTC)
M = first digit of the minutes of the hour
BH indicates the vessel BAY HYDROGRAPHER
A indicates that the archive is of type CTD

Have a very good weekend.
Ruby
