Publication Dates	publication: 2008-05-06 creation: 2008-05-06
Data Presentation Form	Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed, especially in columns
Dataset Progress Status	Complete - production of the data has been completed Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility
Data Update Frequency	As needed
Supplemental Information	These data are companions to the zooplankton abundance data under NODC Accession 0058858. The National Science Foundation funded the collection of both these data sets under Award Number 0525943 ("Forays and Foraging by Marine Zooplankton").
Purpose	These data were collected as part of a project to determine how the behavior of individual zooplankters affects their vertical distribution, over hourly temporal and 1-meter spatial scales. The CTD data was used to characterize the vertical structure of the water column before and/or after zooplankton sampling. These data were then used to choose depths for zooplankton sampling.
Use Limitations	accessLevel: Public Distribution liability: NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. If appropriate, NCEI can only certify that the data it distributes are an authentic copy of the records that were accepted for inclusion in the NCEI archives.
