CTD data were collected on all seven (7) deployment and rotation cruises
for the moorings. The cruises were at 4-month intervals between March
1997 and April 1999. The initial standard grid was 75 station, but
this was increased to 80 stations in November 1997 in order to get better
coverage of the shelf-break region. In December 1998, seven (7) additional
stations were added at the head of the DeSoto Canyon as part of a feature
survey. The stations for this December 1998 survey are shown in the
image. This latter survey (PE9923) had problems with the conductivity
sensor on the SeaBird 911 CTD and the salinity data has been discarded
for this cruise. Data QA/QC and the netcdf file organization are
given here.
