To: Francis Mitchell <Francis.Mitchell@noaa.gov>


Hello again, Francis,

Attached is a zip file containing (NRT-6_CTD_ARCHIVE_NEWFORMAT.zip) 
containing 30 cast files acquired during the 2005 season by the NOS 
Navigation Response Team (NRT-6).

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

Pressure and Temperature are obtained directly from the 19Plus Seacat 
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.SFA, where:
YY = 2-digit year
DDD = day-of-year
HH = hour of day (UTC)
M = first digit of the minutes of the hour
SF  indicates NRT-6 (based in San Francisco)
A indicates archive file.

NOTE: Three of the files (05251163, 05251192, 05252221) were taken post 
Katrina when NRT-6 was operating in the New Orleans area.

Have a good evening,
Ruby
