Abstract:

Methane data taken from around the northern gulf with the METS sensor. This data is to look at the concentration difference within the area. Data was collected on the R/V Atlantis Cruise AT26-13 that took place from March 30 to April 22 2014.

Purpose:

Using this data we can track methane and looks at the effect of the surrounding community and water column. This data can also be used to target grab samples for further detailed analysis.
