Title: Seabird 911 CTD data from R/V Oceanus and R/V Edwin Link cruises OC301, OC303, EL9904, and EL9905 in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank from 1997-1999 as part of the U.S. GLOBEC program (GB project) (NCEI Accession 0277887)
Abstract: This dataset contains optical and physical data collected on R/V Edwin Link and R/V Oceanus during cruises EL9904, EL9905, OC301, and OC303 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1997-04-05 to 1999-05-29. These data include light transmission (volts), sigma-t, and water pressure. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird. These data were collected by James P. Manning of Northeast Fisheries Science Center - Woods Hole 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 2019-10-30.
