Dataset: CTD data from casts before and after larval vertical distribution sampling from R/V C-Hawk day cruises in the Eastern Gulf of Maine from 2012 to 2014

These data were presented in Weinstock et al., 2018 (see Fig 1 and 2).  Only downcast density data were analyzed and presented in Weinstock et al., 2018. Water density data were converted to % of water column maximum in Figure 2 of Weinstock et al., 2018.

These data are available in two formats.  The version in the BCO-DMO data system contains data from all casts concatenated together with added columns cast_name, Cast_time_UTC, start_latitude, start_longitude, end_latitude, and end_latitude which was originally contained in comment and header lines in 35 cast csv files.  The 35 individual cast csv files are available in the "Data Files" section as  CTD.zip: "CTD csv files with seabird headers." 

Related Datasets: CTD casts were conducted immediately before and after the associated larval vertical distribution sampling (separate dataset description) and on both flood and ebb tides.
