Hello Francis,

Attached is file containing 2006_RUDE_NODC.zip containing 71 CTD files 
acquired during the 2006 season by the NOAA Ship RUDE.

The headers in the files contain Project, Survey, Date, Time, Latitude, 
Longitude, and Instrument information.  Pressure and Temperature were 
obtained directly from an SBE 19 Seacat Profiler.  Salinity was derived 
using Sea-Birds'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 in this zip file 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 vessel RUDE
A indicates that the archive is of type CTD

Have a good day,
Ruby
