The purpose was to observe near-field plume dynamics.

Data Parameters and Units:

Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Cast number, Latitude (decimal degrees), Longitude (decimal degrees), Depth (m), Salinity (psu), Conductivity (S/m), Temperature (deg C), Density (kg/m^3), Dissolved Oxygen (mg/l), Nitrogen saturation (mg/l), PAR, Fluorescence (mg/m^3), Sound velocity (m/s), Pressure (db), Time (Julian days), Specific conductance (uS/cm), pH, Time (elapsed seconds) Date, Cast, Northing, and Easting information in CTD_Spring2017.csv. CTD instrument is broken and resets the time stamp every time in use. The following file names correspond to the date and cast location.
