Hi Francis,

Attached is a zip file (RUDE_CTD_ARCHIVE_2005.zip) containing 190 cast 
files acquired during the 2005 season by the NOAA Ship RUDE.

The headers in the files contain the Project, Survey, Date, Time, and 
Instrument information.

Pressure and Temperature are obtained directly from a Sea-Bird 
Electronics Seacat 19 Profiler.  Salinity is derived using Sea-Bird's 
software, SBEDataProcessing.  All three  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.RUA, where:
YY = 2-digit year
DDD = day-of-year
HH = hour of day (UTC)
M = first digit of the minutes of the hour
RU  indicates the RUDE
A indicates CTD archive file.

Have a good evening,
Ruby
