Description:

Abstract:

Spatial surveys of water column physical properties were acquired with a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiler for four days in February 2015 and one day in July 2015 off the north coast of the island of Tutuila, American Samoa in support of a study on the coastal circulation patterns within and in the vicinity of the National Park of American Samoa.

Purpose:

These CTD measurements were collected as a part of a larger investigation into the circulation and transport along the coast off the National Park of American Samoa on the island of Tutuila, American Samoa.

Process_Description:

Conductivity, salinity, and depth (CTD) data were collected with a SeaBird SBE-19 Plus CTD Profiler

Process_Date: 20150718

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Data were accumulated into NetCDF files. Data collected when instruments were out of the water were removed during post-processing. Data were then averaged into 1-m vertical bins.

Process_Date: 20150813

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Files are named with a convention that uses a multi-element alphanumeric code delimited by underscores. The first element for this dataset represent the USGS Field Activity Number (e.g. 2016-626-FA); the second element represents the calendar yearday in which the first data point in the file was taken (e.g., YD48); the third element is an alphanumeric code for the cast number for that year-day.
