The work was done from the R/V Endeavor during the third leg of cruise EN216, which was part of the Synoptic Ocean Prediction (SYNOP) program. The section consisted of 12 stations located along a line from 34 deg 50'N, 73 deg 10'W to 35 deg 57.23N, 74 deg 43. 14'W, spaced 8 to 30 km apart. The Seabird Sealogger utilized was equipped with conductivity, temperature, pressure, and oxygen sensors. Nominal drop speed was 0.5 - 1.0 m/s, with a sampling rate of 1 Hz. This report discusses the acquisition and processing of the CTD data obtained along this section. In addition, plots of potential temperature vs. salinity, salinity vs. pressure, potential temperature vs. pressure, and oxygen vs. pressure are shown for each station. Vertical sections of salinity, potential temperature, density, and oxygen are also presented.
