Description
VPS Cast data products produce one file or plot for each cast of the Vertical Profiler System (VPS). A cast is defined as a single pass through the water column. Possible values include 'Up', 'Down', 'Up - In Progress', 'Down - In Progress'. The VPS may pause at various levels throughout the water column to acquire data; this behaviour does not interrupt a cast. Only entire casts will be reported, except in the case of a cast that is ongoing in real-time, i.e. an 'In Progress' cast.The up and down casts are kept separate because certain instruments will perform better on either. For instance, the CTD will sample undisturbed water on a down cast as its intake is near the bottom of the of VPS. Please consult individual instruments' documentation for more information: http://wiki.neptunecanada.ca/display/instruments/22608
