LTER Georgia Coastal Ecosystems - September 2003 CTD, PAR, oxygen and chlorophyll profiles for the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Sapelo River transect

Three hydrographic surveys were performed on September 27, 2003, along a
transect from Sapelo Sound up the Sapelo River to Eulonia, Georgia (Sapelo
River Transect, GCE-SP). Vertical CTD profiles were collected at 3-4km
intervals from 0km to 36km during low and high 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.

GCE Study Site GCE-SP -- Sapelo River, Georgia, USA. Sapelo River transect
used for GCE quarterly hydrographic monitoring surveys. Nominal profiling
stations are defined every 3-4km from 0km to 36km (relative to station 0km at
the line of demarcation), based on an estimated Thalweg line running up the
main river channel.
