SHEBA Preliminary Deeper CTD Data In this directory are Seacat files for 46 so-called 'Deep' casts during SHEBA. Each has its own folder named for the year and Julian date of the cast. Each folder contains at least two ASCII files; the .HDR file is the SEASOFT header. REFER TO THE HDR FILE FOR TIME AND POSITION; do NOT trust the file or folder name for time. Other notes: 1. These data are PRELIMINARY in that they are simply the ASCII output from the DATCNV step of SEASOFT, and sometimes not all of that. They are reasonably usable in that they generally plot quite nicely, and do not show many salinity spikes and other obvious problems. But they also use only the pre-SHEBA calibrations. 2. Each cast folder contains a HDR file and a data file, generally with no suffix. Usually the data file contains the down and uptrace. However, quite a few are downcast only, and in some cases up and down casts appear as separate files. It is not unusual for the upcast to look better when plotted. 3. Usually the DATCNV conversion produced time series of Depth, Temperature, and Salinity. However, some show Depth, Temperature, Conductivity, Salinity, Density, etc. The HDR file should resolve any uncertainty in the columns.
