LTER Georgia Coastal Ecosystems - Spring 2001 CTD profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Sapelo River transect

Three hydrographic surveys were performed between May 28 and June 5, 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 32km during various 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.
