Data include vertical profiles of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll. Description: Abstract: CTD data were collected with NOAA Ship NANCY FOSTER's Sea-Bird 9plus CTD during biophysical surveys of the US Caribbean, British Virgin Islands, and Leeward Islands in February and March of 2010. Purpose: This CTD dataset was collected for the purpose of examining upper ocean water properties / chemistry over the study domain (US Caribbean, British Virgin Islands, Leeward Islands) Supplemental_Information: This dataset has been processed using Sea-Bird's standard set of "Post-Processing" Routines. Data are in an ascii format. Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 20100223 Ending_Date: 20100315 Currentness_Reference: These data are valid for the period collected only. Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: once data are processed to a final state, they are no longer updated.
