Obtaining CTD data from the WHOI Cruise Database:
- 2) In the directory, click on ctd/ and then process/.
- 3) The CTD data from each location is housed in 6 files (.asc, .bt1, .cnv, ..CON, .hdr, .ros). Download the .asc file as a .txt file.
- 4) In Excel, go to File -> Import... and follow the step-by-step instructions to import each .asc (now a .txt) file.
- 5) The column header abbreviations are defined in the .hdr file. The latitude and longitude are also found in the .hdr file.
