Abstract:
Seabird SBE37-IM Conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensors were deployed at a series of depths (10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 meters) along the tether of MBARI's M1 mooring. This data set was measured during the MUSE experiment from MBARI's M1 mooring located at the mouth of Monterey Bay near the axis of the Monterey Bay Submarine Canyon.
Purpose: These data were collected for oceanographic research.
