If you don't mind, can you give me a call at the number listed below at your convenience and we can discuss this a few other small items. Or if you would like, I can set up a meeting time in your calendar. Just let me know what works best for you. Thank you, Lauren -- Lauren A.

The data were distributed to hypoxia researchers in near real time and used to generate bottom DO maps as part of the Hypoxia Watch Project (http://www.ncddc.noaa.gov/hypoxia/). The profiles were acquired with a Sea-Bird Model SB9 profiler equipped with pressure, temperature, conductivity, fluorescence, and beam transmission sensors. The data were processed with Sea-Bird software using the standard processing protocol developed by the Mississippi Laboratories. Water temperature, beam transmission, and derived salinity, DO and DO percent saturation, and density were retained in the processed files. SAS software was used to extract the bottom DO and other relevant data (e.g., date, time, position, and station number) and format the data as comma-delimited ASCII files.
