This DVD contains the final (processed) data and raw data from NF-18-03
conducted aboard the NOAA Ship NANCY FOSTER between 06 June 2018 and 24 June 
2018.

The data contained on the DVD include:

CTD: processed and raw data from all conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) 
     casts (ASCII format)

LADCP: processed and raw lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler (LADCP) 
       data from all LADCP casts (final ocean velocity profiles in ASCII 
       format, raw LADCP data in binary files)

SADCP: processed and raw hull-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler 
       (SADCP) data from the completed cruise ship track (matlab .mat data 
       file, .asc ASCII data file surface velocities only, and raw binary and
       ASCII files)

TSG: all sea surface, flow-through data collected with the 
     ship's thermosalinograph (TSG) and fluorometer, covering the completed 
     cruise ship track (ASCII format)

FISH: all larval fish (ichthyoplankton) data available from the 
      various net tows performed during the cruise (XLSX format)

In each directory, data include either a separate readme file or 
information in the header of the data file that describes in detail 
the data format contained therein.
