October 2001 CTD, PAR, oxygen and chlorophyll profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Sapelo River transect

Three hydrographic surveys were performed on October 13 and October 14, 2001, along a transect from Sapelo Sound up the Sapelo River to Eulonia, Georgia (Sapelo River Transect, GCE-SP). Vertical CTD profiles were collected at approximately 3km intervals from 0km to 36km during various tidal regimes. Conductivity, temperature, pressure, optical back scatter, photosynthetically-available radiation, oxygen and chlorophyll a fluorescence were measured, and depth, salinity and sigma-t were calculated for each profile. Data values collected during the upcast were deleted. This data set was collected as part of the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER quarterly hydrographic monitoring program.
