A station csv (sta.csv) is generated for each hydrographic station occupied during a cruise. Bottle data records for each depth are built & populated during sample analysis and data processing. CTD 1-meter bin-averaged data contribute to many columns (purple highlight) such as the pressure, depth, and temperature fields.
