September 2003 bin-averaged CTD profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Inner Marsh transect

One hydrographic survey was performed on September 26, 2003, along the Darien
River, North River, and north channel of the Altamaha River (Inner Marsh
Transect, GCE-IM). Vertical CTD profiles were collected at various nominal
stations along the transect under a low water tidal regime (flood tide).
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-IM -- Inner Marsh, Georgia, USA. Inner marsh transect used for GCE
quarterly hydrographic monitoring surveys. Nominal profiling stations are
defined at various locations along the North River, Darien River, and north
channel of the Altamaha River estuary southwest of Sapelo Island.
