Abstract:

Along-track near-surface measurements made on board the RV Pelican in the northern Gulf of Mexico near DeSoto Canyon (June 30 through July 2, 2012) as part of a benthic observation cruise (PE12-33). This dataset reports temperature, pressure, depth, oxygen saturation, density, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, barometric pressure, thermosalinograph temperature, thermosalinograph salinity, and fluorometer readings.

Purpose:

These are standard measurements taken along-track on a scientific cruise to provide context for all other measurements and samples.

Data Parameters and Units:

CTD: pressure (dBar); temperature (deg C); conductivity (S/m); oxygen (ml/l); oxygen Saturation (ml/l); altimeter (m); depth (m); salinity (psu); density (kg/m^3); potential temperature (deg C); sound velocity (m/s). Underway: date; time (UTC); Latitude (deg. N); Longitude (deg. E); true wind speed (knot); true wind direction (degrees); temperature (deg C); relative humidity ((%); barometric pressure (mbar); turner AU10 fluorometer (ug/l); transmissionmeter (%); thermosalinograph temperature (deg C); thermosalinograph salinity (psu); temperature in Seachest (deg C); fluorometer (ug/l)
