 (5) BRIEF DESCRIPTION of DATA FILE:  1m vertical bin averages of 14 CTD casts,
     including uncalibrated OBS and uncalibrated chlorophyll a fluorescence, taken
     aboard the R/V Blue Fin on the Satilla River on November 06, 1994.

 (6) KEYWORDS:  Satilla, CTD

 (7) RESEARCH LOCATION:  The Satilla river from SL-014.0 to SL+032.5 (2 digit river
     code + 4 digit code for distance from river mouth in km).

 (8) EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS AND METHODS: Casts were taken with a SeaBird Electronics CTD25
     (S/N 64).  After soaking at the surface for approximately 45 seconds, the CTD was  
     lowered to the bottom by a power winch and then raised to the surface.  The
     collected data's downcasts were processed using standard SeaBird software to
     produce the 1m vertical bin averages.

 (9) NOTES AND COMMENTS:  Each cast has a header that contains information in the  
     following order: cast number,station location, date, time (EST), max water
     depth (M), latitude (N in degrees and minutes), and 
     longitude (W in degrees and minutes).  Estimated predicted tidal height at station
     SL+002:  High Water at 1027 EST, Low Water at 1655 EST.

(11) CALCULATIONS:
                  Salinity=PSS-78
                  Sigma-t=p(s,t,O)-1000
     Both salinity and sigma-t were computed by the SeaBird software program.  The 
     formulas used were obtained from "Algorithms for Computation of Fundamental    
     Properties of Seawater" by N.P. Fofonoff and R.C. Millard Jr.; Unesco technical
     papers in marine science #44, 1983.
