CTD CASTS

CTD sampling casts were taken on surveyed area. Conductivity and temperature data were collected by a Seabird SBE 11 PLUS using the SEASAVE software. The pressure data were measured by a ParoScientific Digiquartz. Data were acquired at 24Hz and the descent rate was aproximately 1 m/s, much less when close to bottom or on interesting interfaces. To facilitate the handling of the equipment during the coring operations, the Bottle Caroussel and some sensors were removed.

The conversion from pressure to depth on the SEA-SAVE software was done at latitude 40N. See Tables 5and Figs.4, 5 and 6 for the station locations.

The binary data were converted to the CNV and ASCIIOUT (for CTD) formats. The Sound Velocity data from the acquired profiles were made available for import into the SIS Software for multibeam data acquisition and corrections.
