LTER Georgia Coastal Ecosystems - September 2003 bin-averaged CTD 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 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.

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.
