LTER Georgia Coastal Ecosystems - March 2002 bin-averaged CTD profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Altamaha River transect

Four hydrographic surveys were performed on March 23, 2002, along an
east-to-west transect up the Altamaha River in Georgia (Altamaha River
Transect, GCE-AL). Vertical CTD profiles were collected at 1-2km intervals from
2km east of the line of demarcation (station -02) to 28km upriver 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.
