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.

Lineage: Process_Step: 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. Process_Date: 20151214 Process_Step: Process_Description: Edited metadata to add keywords section with USGS persistent identifier as theme keyword. No data were changed.
