Description:

Abstract:

A SeaBird Electronics Thermosalinograph (SBE 21) was a part of the underway system aboard the R/V Point Sur. A Turner Designs (10-AU) fluorometer is also included with the UCTD. All metrological sensors were manufactured by R.M. Young and there were dual GPS systems by Ashtech and Magnovox (now Leica).

Purpose: These data were collected for oceanographic research.
