Abstract:

This dataset contains raw Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected aboard the R/V Point Sur cruise PS21_13 (DP07, cruise DOI 10.7284/909100) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2021-04-24 to 2021-05-05. The overall purpose of the R/V Point Sur cruise PS21_13 led by chief scientist Dr. Tracey Sutton was to perform deep water sampling of in-situ seawater and associated fauna. Fauna data from the cruise are found in related datasets under GRIIDC Unique Dataset Identifiers (UDIs): NO.x959.000:0003 (doi:10.7266/ZYHTVRHY, MOCNESS trawl data), NO.x959.000:0005 (doi:10.7266/941JKZCZ, fauna inventory). This dataset also includes cruise logbook and cruise data documentation. This dataset is a result of research funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's RESTORE Science Program (ROR - https://ror.org/0042xzm63) under award #NA19NOS4510193 to Nova Southeastern University.
