Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

CTD, salinity, temperature, oxygen, and depth data for Cruise DP01 from R/V Point Sur in the Viosca Knoll, Gulf of Mexico, 2015-05-01 to 2015-05-08 (NCEI Accession 0142203)

Preview graphic

Deep water sampling of in situ seawater and associated fauna (cruise DP01, May 1-8, 2015) aboard R/V Point Sur for an area encompassing roughly 28°N to 29°N and 87.5°W to 88.5°W. Submitted data in this dataset are the salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and depth data from the ship's CTD, which is deployed at each of the DEEPEND stations. Depth of cast is variable, but extends from near-surface waters to below the euphotic zone. This data is used in the assessment of the water column's vertical structure, and for comparison with physical models.
