 Methodology
 
 Change history: YYMMDD
    060724: original CTD/Niskin data files via email from Joan Fabres (SUNY SB); 
    070307: data prepared by Terry McKee (PO Dept., WHOI) 
             and added to database by Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO
 
 PI-notes:
    sta  1: First cast of EN416, water for traps
    sta  3: First FGP Pressure cast of EN416, First day of cruise.
    sta 12: morning FGP cast
 
 DMO Notes: 
    Data were contributed as Seabird-processed .btl data files from CTD 
    casts; averaged values were used (see Methodology for clarification); 
    CTD sensors corrected using pre-cruise calibrations; no post-cruise
    calibration work has been done.  Use with caution.
