Towed CTD data collected in conjunction with the BIOMAPER-II towed package, Apr-Sep 2001 and 2002, Continental Margin Western Antarctic Peninsula, GLOBEC

The data reported here are the high resolution observations recorded by the CTD unit along the ship's track as processed by the bio-acoustics group. The unit was generally deployed and towed between standard stations in an oscillating manner (towyo) over a depth range of 0 to 300m.

Observations were made during four cruises to the Antarctic, Apr-Sep 2001 and 2002. The general survey area includes: the continental shelf to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of Adelaide Island to the southern portion of Alexander Island, Marguerite Bay, and seaward to depths of 3000 meters. These CTD data are to be used in conjunction with the bio-acoustic profiler data set submitted by the PI.
