Abstract:

CTD profiles were collected at seven locations across the Barataria Bay inlets, repeatedly throughout the 24-hour tidal cycle from 2017-04-22 to 2017-04-23. This dataset is part of the SPLASH experiment. The CTD profiles were collected using a SonTek CastAway-CTD. The dataset includes the raw and processed CTD data, as well as processing Matlab codes.

Purpose:

Provide density field associated with each ADCP survey.

Data Parameters and Units:

Depth (m), pressure (dBar), temperature (degrees C), conductivity (microS/cm), specific conductance (microS/cm), salinity (PSU), sound velocity (m/s), density (kg/m^3), cast time (local time and UTC), start/end latitude and longitude (decimal degrees), altitude start/end (m), cast duration (s), samples per second, calibration dates for the electronics, conductivity, temperature and pressure sensors. The dataset contains the raw (binary) CTD files and the processed CTD casts in MATLAB files for each location. The folders are named for the different stations, with subscripts north, northeast (ne), south (s), southwest (sw), and center (c). Each folder contains a Matlab file to read the processed CTD *.mat files.
