This dataset provides continuous resistivity profile data processed with varying water conductivity values along the line as opposed to a single water resistivity value. Varying water conductivity measurements are appropriate to process data that traverse a wide range of water salinities. These data are from the Indian River Bay, Delaware from USGS cruise 2010-006-FA of long east-west lines. The CRP system images the subsurface electrical properties of an estuarine, riverine or lacustrine environment. Resistivity differences can be attributed to subsurface geology (conductive vs less conductive layers) and hydrogeologic conditions with fresh water exhibiting high resistivity and saline conditions showing low resistivity.

The YSI data needed to be related to the resistivity data based on time. First, the raw YSI data were separated by day of acquisition into separate worksheets. Then a new column was added to reflect UTC time by adding 4 hours to the YSI time (local time).
