Dataset: Scanfish data from R/V Endeavor cruises EN321 and EN325 in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank in 1999 as part of the U.S. GLOBEC program (GB project)

SCANFISH CTD Data Endeavor Cruises 321 and 325

PI Notes:
The Scanfish is a towed undulating vehicle carrying a CTD and several other sensors and was utilized on Endeavor Cruises 321 and 325 to Georges Bank. The scanfish is towed along various transacts to map the hydrographic properties of a survey area. During each cruise a number of tows were carried out, and the data are organized by tow. The SeaBird 911plus CTD records data at 24 Hz. It has been processed following the procedures outlined by O'Malley, et al (1998) and subsequently averaged to 1 Hz.
