March 2002 bin-averaged CTD profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Inner Marsh transect

One hydrographic survey was performed on March 23, 2002, 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 during flood and ebb tidal regimes. 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.
