 (5) BRIEF DESCRIPTION of DATA FILE:  1m vertical bin averages of 3 CTD casts, including
     uncalibrated OBS and uncalibrated chlorophyll a fluorescence, taken aboard the
     R/V El Mar on the Savannah River during a neap tide at high water on 
     October 14, 1995.

 (6) KEYWORDS:  Savannah, CTD, Neap

 (7) RESEARCH LOCATION:  The Savannah river from SV+032.0 to SV+044.0 (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 94).  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 SV+020: Low Water at 0600 EST, High Water at 1145 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.
