LTER Georgia Coastal Ecosystems - June 2003 bin-averaged CTD profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Duplin River transect

Two hydrographic surveys were performed on June 17 and June 18, 2003, along an south-to-north transect up the Duplin River on Sapelo Island, Georgia (Duplin River Transect, GCE-DP). Vertical CTD profiles were collected at various nominal stations along the transect during various tidal 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.
