Abstract:

Water column and hydrographic data were collected during the Concorde Spring 2016 cruise utilizing the CTD-rosette system aboard the R/V Point Sur (R/V Point Sur cruise 1702, cruise DOI https://doi.org/10.7284/909390). Characterization of physical and chemical properties in the water column were conducted down the CONCORDE corridors in the Mississippi Bight, Mobile Bay outflow and Western Florida shelf. The sample period was 2016-07-24 - 2016-07-30. Quarter meter binned profiles and bottle files are included, with the raw CTD data are available on request.
