Create a table with average pressure, temperature, salinity, oxygen saturation, and SBE 43 output voltage for each
water sampler closure depth, by importing the .btl file into a spreadsheet. Then, enter by hand the Winkler titration
dissolved oxygen values from your titration log, matching water sampler closures to pressures.
