Surface temperature variability in the Delaware Bay estuary system

This dataset includes in situ water property data collected from 8 along-estuary surveys in the Delaware Estuary from 2010-2011, led by Robert Chant (Rutgers University) and Chris Sommerfield (University of Delaware). The surveys spanned from the estuary mouth to about Trenton and consisted of CTD casts at fixed along-estuary sites. There were measurements of temperature, salinity, and pressure for every cruise, with additional measurements of nitrate, chlorophyll, optical backscatter, and Oxygen for some cruises. Data for each cruise has been binned to a uniform coordinate system, with dimensions of [depth x latitude/longitude position]. We've also included an example code to demonstrate how to plot the data.
