Abstract:

This dataset contains raw Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and SCS data collected aboard the R/V Point Sur cruise PS25_17 (DP10, cruise DOI XXXX) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2025-04-22 to 2025-05-02. The overall purpose of the R/V Point Sur cruise PS25_17 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.x959.000:0026. 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 #NA24NOSX451C0002 to Nova Southeastern University.
