Purpose:

Using this data we can track methane plumes and looks at the effect of the surrounding community and water column. This data can also be used to target grab samples for further detailed analysis.

Data Parameters and Units:

Record(#); Time tag (Gmt); Battery Voltage (V); G132 E323 mets 1 (0-5V) (Volt) ; G131 E322(Volt); Pressure (KPa); Pressure Sensor Temperature (C); Conductivity (S/m); Conductivity Temperature(C)
