      <abstract>Process Study CTD temperature and salinity surveys were
      conducted in discrete/different hydrographic regimes on Georges Bank to
      better understand the impact of the environment on zooplankton behavior
      and distribution. These CTD Process Study cruises cover the period
      1997-99 for the time periods reported below. Ship/cruise/dates: ship
