Subject: Data submission for BAY HYDROGRAPHER
To: Francis Mitchell <Francis.Mitchell@noaa.gov>


Hello Francis,

It's me again,  Thanks for the accession number for NRT-6.

Attached is a zip file  (BH_CTD_ARCHIVE_OLDFORMAT.zip containing 117 CTD 
cast files acquired during the 2005 season by the NOAA (S/V) BAY 
HYDROGRAPHER..

These files were created in an older version of our software and contain 
a quality code column.

The project and survey numbers are in the first header.

All the data files were obtained using a Sea-Bird Electronics SEACAT 19 
Profiler.

Pressure and Temperature are obtained directly from the SEACAT.  
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.BHA, where:
YY = 2-digit year
DDD = day-of-year
HH = hour of day (UTC)
M = first digit of the minutes of the hour
BH  indicates  BAY HYDROGRAPHER
A indicates CTD archive file.

I am finally getting the rest of data that I requested early in the year 
so you will be hearing from me again.

Ruby
