Deep-sea exploration using CMRC's submersible facilities in the Bahamas also provides critical geological data on sea levels of the ancient past. Daily and monthly summaries are available in digital and plotted format. Data are provided to scientists around the world, and agencies like the Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida. A new meteorological station, including a tide gauge, was installed at the field station in April, 1998. CMRC has deployed current meters of various types throughout the Shelf areas of the Exuma Cays, and all around the Exuma Sound since 1989.
Data are available in hourly and daily format, both in plotted and digital form.
CTD casts were made using various submersibles and surface vessels between 1992 and 1996. These provide a record of temperature and salinity as a function of depth. The depths varied among different project requirements, as did the sampling intervals. In general, the CTD casts were made to sample every .05 seconds, and only downcast data were analyzed. Data were averaged in 1 m depth intervals for plotting and in 5 m depth intervals for table summaries.
