Hi Francis,

Hope all is going  well for you.

I am attaching 1 zip file: NRT2_CTD_ARCHIVE_2005.zip.

It contains 23 CTD cast files acquired during the 2005 season by NRT-2, 
Navigation Response Team 2.

The descriptive headers in the files are followed by  pressure, 
temperature, and salinity data.

Pressure and temperature are obtained directly from the instrument used, 
the SBE 19 Seacat Profiler.  Salinity is derived using Sea-Bird 
Electronics' software, SBEDataProcessing.  All 3 variables have been  
averaged into depth bins and then fitted to 1-decibar intervals by means 
of parabolic fitting.

All the filenames have format YYDDDHHM.ABA, where:
YY = 2-digit year
DDD = day-of-year
HH = hour of day (UTC)
M = first digit of the minutes of the hour
AB  indicates NRT-2
A indicates archive file.

Best wishes for 2006,
Ruby
