USGS Open File Report 95-070 CTD Data

These data represent the output of the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) instrument used to characterize the water column at the sample localities. Each file contains four columns, as follows:
  1. Temperature in degrees Celsius
  2. Salinity in parts per thousand
  3. Depth in meters
  4. Conductivity
Measurements are taken both as the instrument is lowered and as it is raised again, so in each series the depth increases and subsequently decreases. Station locations are indicated by the file names, which are cross-referenced in location.txt.
