Abstract:

This dataset contains Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), serial sensor, shipboard computer system (SCS) measurements, CTD, and the ship load and cruise track data from aboard the R/V Point Sur for cruise DP05 (PS-1721) for an area encompassing roughly 27°N to 28°N and 86.5°W to 90°W. Data were collected April 29th - May 12th 2017. The overall purpose of this cruise was to perform deep water sampling of in-situ seawater and associated fauna.
