Abstract:

Water column data and hydrographic were collected during the Concorde Fall 2015 cruise utilizing the CTD-rosette system aboard the R/V Point Sur. 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 between 2015-10-28 and 2015-11-05 about R/V Point Sur cruise PS16-12 (cruise DOI https:\\doi.org/10.7284/909421). Quarter meter binned profiles and bottle files are published here, with the raw CTD data are available on request
