Abstract:

Thirteen CTD casts made from the R/V Pelican (cruise number PE12-33) in the northern Gulf of Mexico near DeSoto Canyon (2012-06-30 - 2012-07-02) as part of a CARTHE benthic observation cruise. This dataset reports ship position, depth, temperature, salinity, density, fluorescence, and oxygen concentration for each cast.

Purpose:

These CTD casts were made to determine the hydrography of the water column in a region where bottom core samples were taken.

Data Parameters and Units:

ship position (lon,lat) [degrees], depth [meters], temperature [degrees C], salinity [PSU], density [kg/m^3], fluorescence [ug/l], oxygen [mg/l]

Instruments:

Seabird SBE11+; Fluorometer, WET Labs ECO CDOM; Transmissometer, Chelsea/Seatech; Seabird SBE43 oxygen sensor
