This data set was acquired with a Sea-Bird SBE-911 CTD during Kilo Moana expedition KM0410 conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Fernando Martinez; Investigators: Dr. Edward T. Baker and Dr. Joseph Resing). The data file is in Microsoft Excel format and includes Optical Backscatter, Pressure, Temperature, Conductivity, and Fluid Chemistry data that was processed after collection. The data was acquired as part of the projects: Investigating the Interrelationships Between Crustal Structure, Volcanism, and Hydrothermal Activity Along the Backarc East Lau Spreading Center; LAUB-FLEX: Deep Circulation and Dispersal in the Lau Basin using Floats; and, Venture Deep Ocean, Lau Basin Expedition 1 of 5, and funding was provided by NSF grants: OCE02-41785, OCE02-42002, and OCE02-42077.
