Abstract:

This dataset contains raw Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and underway SCS data collected aboard the R/V Point cruise PS23_04 (DP08, cruise doi https://doi.org/10.7284/909796) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2022-07-27 to 2022-08-07. The overall purpose of the R/V Point Sur cruise PS23-04 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.x959.000:0006 (https://doi.org/10.7266/2JR97MGC), MOCNESS trawl data), NO.x959.000:0010 (fauna inventory). The CTD data are available in GRIIDC Unique Dataset Identifier (UDI) NO.x959.000:0008 (https://doi.org/10.7266/81EA5Q5G). Dataset also includes the 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.
