LTER Georgia Coastal Ecosystems - June 2003 bin-averaged CTD profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Doboy Sound transect

Two hydrographic surveys were performed on June 18, 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.
