LTER Georgia Coastal Ecosystems - Spring 2001 CTD profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Altamaha River transect

A series of four hydrographic surveys were performed from May 30 through June
4, 2001, along an east-to-west transect up the Altamaha River in Georgia.
Vertical CTD profiles were collected at 1-2km intervals from 4km east of the
line of demarcation (station -4) to 28km upriver along the transect during
various tidal regimes. Conductivity, temperature, pressure and optical
backscatter were measured, and depth, salinity and sigma-t were calculated for
each profile. Data values collected on the upcast were deleted, and the
remaining data were averaged within 0.5m depth bins and interpolated to produce
a smooth profile for contouring. This data set was collected as part of the
Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER quarterly hydrographic monitoring program.
