LTER Georgia Coastal Ecosystems - September 2003 CTD, PAR, oxygen and chlorophyll profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Doboy Sound transect

Two hydrographic surveys and one anchor station time series survey were
performed on September 25, 2003, along an east-to-west transect through Doboy
Sound near Sapelo Island, Georgia (Doboy Sound Transect, GCE-DB). Vertical CTD
profiles were collected at approximately 2km intervals from -2km to 12km along
the transect during low tide and high tide conditions. Conductivity,
temperature, pressure, optical back scatter, photosynthetically-available
radiation, oxygen and chlorophyll a fluorescence were measured, and depth,
salinity and sigma-t were calculated for each profile. Data values collected
during the upcast were deleted. This data set was collected as part of the
Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER quarterly hydrographic monitoring program.

GCE Study Site GCE-DB -- Doboy Sound, Georgia, USA. Doboy Sound transect used
for GCE quarterly hydrographic monitoring surveys. Nominal profiling stations
are defined every 2km from -2km to 12km and at 12.6km (relative to station 0km
at the line of demarcation), based on an estimated Thalweg line running up the
main sound channel.
