This data set shows a location where the CTD (Conductivity -Temperature - Depth) device was used. CTD were determined while in the Caribbean Sea during the USGS Science Cruise 02051 in collaboration with NOAA Research Cruise RB0208 from 24 September to 30 September 2002, Leg I of III. The point location attributes are longitude, latitude, and date of placement in the water. It is in Environmental Science Research Institution (ESRI) shapefile format, geometric point data.

The GPS was considered to have a horizontal accuracy of < 10 meters.
The CTD data file was received from the R/V Ron Brown Oceanographic data network, sent directly to the central storage system and logged to a spreadsheet file.
