[BVAL CTD profiles (BATS Validation cruises)] - Two decibar averaged CTD profiles collected during BATS Validation (BVAL) cruises from April 1991 through July 2024 (Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study)

Profiles of primary CTD measurements (Pressure, Depth, Temperature, and Salinity) are reported along with auxiliary data for dissolved oxygen, beam attenuation coefficient, relative fluorescence, and photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR). Profiles were collected using a standard Sea-Bird SBE-09 plus CTD.

Data are processed following the methods of Knap et al., 1997 with the final product being reported as two decibar averages and all profiles. It should be noted that the two decibar profiles are reported for the downcast only and bottle marker data collected on the upcast are presented with the bottle data.
