Sample ctd Data

This is a CTD profile measured in Halifax Harbour in 2003, based on ctdRaw(), but trimmed to just the downcast with ctdTrim(), using indices inferred by inspection of the results from plotScan().

Usage

data(ctd)

Details

This station was sampled by students enrolled in the Dan Kelley's Physical Oceanography class at Dalhousie University. The data were acquired near the centre of the Bedford Basin of the Halifax Harbour, during an October 2003 field trip of Dalhousie University's Oceanography 4120/5120 class. Note that the startTime in the metadata slot was altered from 1903 to 2003, using oceEdit(). The change was done because the original time was clearly incorrect, perhaps owing to the use of software that was designed to work in the twentieth century only.

Sample of Usage
