CTD profiles, Provence - Tethys 2 vessels, HyMeX SOP2

The dataset contains the CTD profiles performed during the SOP2 HYMEX from January to May 2013:<br />
3 cruises on the RV Tethys2 (named: SOP2_T2_LEG1 to SOP2_T2_LEG3). Casts down to ~50m of the bottom.<br />
2 cruises on the SeaBuoying "Provence" (named: SOP2_PV_LEG1 to SOP2_PV_LEG2). Depth of casts limited to ~2000m (winch limited).<br />
<br />
NB: the 3 profiles concomitant to the ARGO floats deployments during the SOP2_T2_LEG1 are not included yet, since the CTD encountered problems and request specific processing.<br />
<br />
2 files/station: 1 averaged on 1 dbar, 1 on 10dbar<br />
Data are given in ASCII, separator: tabulation<br />
<br />
The T, C and P sensors were calibrated in Nov.2012 and have not been used prior to SOP2. No bottles samples were taken. Values are QA/QC’d. <br />
A last check will be performed after post-cruise(s) recalibration.<br />
=> DATA TO BE CONSIDERED AS PROVISORY AT THIS STAGE<br />
