CTD data from surveys off northwest Florida shelf aboard F/V Backdown2, 2017-05-19 to 2017-09-25

Conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and depth data were collected from a ship-based CTD at each station sampled during the summer of 2017 (2017-05-19 to 2017-09-25). The depth of the casts are variable but extend from the water surface to the substrate depth, generally less than 80 m. These data may be used to examine the vertical structure of the water column and to calculate sound speed profiles to be applied to the scientific echosounders. Related data can be found in datasets FL.x704.000:0004 (acoustic scattering/echosounder, doi:10.7266/N7P849B3); and FL.x704.000:0007 (reef fish analysis, doi:10.7266/N7T1526M).
