of: WHOI and BBSR
dataset: combined CTD station and Niskin bottle event logs
dates: 07 August 2005 to 25 August 2005 (20050807-20050825)
location: N: 33.064 S: 29.279 W: -69.410 E: -63.165
project/cruise: EDDIES 2005 Survey 2 OC415-3 and Transect 2 WB0508
platform: R/V OCEANUS and R/V WEATHERBIRD II
OCB DMO Note: data were merged from cruise event logs in OCB database (060308)
additional documentation is available with those logs;
The WB0508 cruise is also called EDDIES Transect #4 or EDT4
(EDDIES Transects 1 and 2 were done in 2004, 3 and 4 in 2005)
PI note: The sampling code sta_ref sub-string is the reference station indicator,
mostly Oceanus master grid (20km spacing). Note, WBII station number is not
included to avoid further confusion. Hence, locations need to be either WBII
CTD station number or Oceanus grid number. Where Oceanus grid station does not
exist then station will be described in terms of nearest station or some
nominal eddy center (EC). For the early part of the cruise station 2070 was
deemed EC, but after W-E transect it was obvious it had shifted. Appeared to
have moved to the SW.
