This CD contains the final version of the Scanfish
and of the shipboard ADCP data data in matlab (.mat) format.
in the subdirectory "data".


Scanfish:

The files "sw06all.mat" contains the following variables:

theta	1720x70	963200	double array	potential temperature
sal	1720x70	963200	double array	salinity
sigma	1720x70	963200	double array	potential density
O2	1720x70	963200	double array	oxygen [ml/l]
O2Volt	1720x70	963200	double array	oxygen sensor voltage
FluorVolt	1720x70	963200	double array	WetLabs fluorometer voltage
xmiss_c	1720x70	963200	double array	light beam attenutation "beam_c" [1/m]
XmissVolt	1720x70	963200	double array	WetLabs transmissometer voltage
pres	1720x70	963200	double array	pressure
z	1x70	560	double array	depth coordinate
txyz	1720x4	55040	double array	time, longitude, latitude, depth

There are 1720 profiles with 70 vertical bins each. "theta" refers to
potential temperature, "sal" to salinity, "sigma" to potential density,
"o2" to oxygen, and "xmiss_c" to light transmission (transmissometer
measurements in "beam_c", with units of 1/m. In addition, the perhaps
more familiar sensor output voltages for oxygen (O2Volt) and light
transmission (XmissVolt) are retained as well. Fluorometer output is
provided here in Volts only (FluorVolt). "txyz" stands for
time, longitude, latitude, bottom depth, with time in decimal days (noon on
January 1 corresponds to day 0.5; noon on August 24 corresponds
to day 235.5). The profiles were derived by averaging
all data from one complete dive cycle, defined as the time between
successive bottom turning points, into 2-meter vertical bins. The variable
"z" gives the nominal center depth of these bins, while the variable "pres"
contains the actual average pressure of all data within these vertical bins.


The same directory also contains two matlab programs: example_section.m
and set_section_id.m. The former gives an example of how the profile
data can be used to quickly generate section plots. The latter contains
the start- and end times of the SW06 sections that are used by
example_section.m to identify the profiles that comprise a particular section.

The file scanfish_proc_notes.txt. gives a description of the Scanfish data processing.
Though detailed, it is written mainly for someone familiar with
Scanfish or SeaSoar processing. For additional explanations of the
processing steps mentioned in the file, see for example the data report
for our "Finch1" Scanfish cruise off Hatteras in 2004.

Shipboard ADCP:

This CD contains the final version of the shipboard ADCP
data in matlab (.mat) format. The file "en425os_e"
contains the following variables:

depth	1x100	800	double array
txy	4731x3	113544	double array
u	4731x100	3784800	double array
v	4731x100	3784800	double array

There are 4731 profiles with 100 vertical
bins each. The bin length was 8m. "u" indicates zonal
velocity, "v" indicates meridional velocity. "txy" stands for
time, longitude, latitude, with time in decimal days (noon on
January 1 corresponds to day 0.5). "depth" gives the center depth
of the ADCP bins.


The file en425_proc_notes.txt. gives a description of the ADCP data processing.

Bottom depth:

Bottom depth was derived by interpolating a bathymetry "map" provided
by John Goff, University of Texas / Arlington, onto the Scanfish and
ADCP profile positions.
