Abstract:

Cleaned and quality controlled mooring data from October 2013 version of the Deep-C physical oceanography observational data CD (40-HLP). These data are filtered using a 40 hour-low-pass (HLP) Lanzcos kernel and decimated to 6-hourly values. This filter removes tides and inertial oscillations. Vector data are in isobaths coordinates. The data were collected at six moorings located at the northern end of DeSoto Canyon during a one-year deployment May 2012-May 2013.

Purpose:

To determine the effect of seasonal currents, topography, and episodic oceanographic or atmospheric drivers on the transport of oil, hydrocarbon gases, sediments, and organisms from a source to sea floor and pelagic environments in the Gulf of Mexico.

Data Parameters and Units:

The mooring data consist of currents (U/V; cm/s), temperature (deg C), pressure (dbar) and salinity (PSU) files.
