Title: CTD data from the western Gulf of Maine collected on R/V Gulf Challenger (GC2002-4) from repeat visits to four locations from February to December 2002-2004 (REACH project) (NCEI Accession 0277338)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological, optical, and physical data collected on R/V Gulf Challenger during cruise GC2002-4 from 2002-04-24 to 2004-06-28. These data include PAR, conductivity, density, depth, fluorescence, light_trans, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD profiler. These data were collected by Ann Bucklin and Mr Chris Manning of University of New Hampshire as part of the "Regional Ecology And Coastal Hydrography (REACH)" project. 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:
