Great South Channel (Georges Bank) Mooring Data collected from January - August, 1997 for the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank project (GB project) (NCEI Accession 0277252)

Graphic not available.

This dataset contains physical data collected on GB GSChannel Mooring during deployment GB_GSChannel_buoy_1 from 1997-01-01 to 1997-08-31. These data include conductivity, depth, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, sigma-theta, water pressure, and water temperature. These data were collected by Dr Ronald Schlitz of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank (GB)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:
