Abstract:

This dataset contains Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), shipboard computer system (SCS) measurements, the ship load and cruise track data from aboard the R/V Point Sur for cruise DP03 for an area encompassing roughly 27°N to 29°N and 86°W to 88°W. The overall purpose of this cruise was to perform deep water sampling of in-situ seawater and associated fauna.
