These Full Water-Column Sound Speed Profiles were put together with data from:
SW54 - Shark temperature data
SW58 - UMiami ASIS data
SW30 - environmental mooring
nearby CTDs
The SSP profiles were interpolated in depth using EOFs, then salinity profiles were
extended using T/S plots and linear interpolation.
The citation for creating the full water column profiles is: Y.-T. Lin, A.E. Newhall, T.F. Duda, P.F.J. Lermusiaux, and P.J. Haley,
Merging multiple partial-depth data time series using objective empirical orthogonal function fitting, IEEE J. Ocean. Eng., vol. 35, pp. 710-721 (2010).
The data .mat file for the SSP is available for download with a sample plotting routine.
Also available is a larger (45MB) .mat file containing salinity and temperature
and a sample plotting routine as well.
