Abstract:

Conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen and depth data were collected from a ship-based CTD at each station sampled during the summer of 2016. The depth of the cast will be variable, but will extend from the water surface to the substrate depth, generally less than 80m. This data will be used to examine the vertical structure of the water column and also be used to calculate sound speed profiles to be applied to the scientific echosounders.
