Abstract:

Hydrographic data were collected during cruise EN559 using a CTD-rosette system aboard the R/V Endeavor. 53 conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) casts were made from the R/V Endeavor in the northern Gulf of Mexico in lease blocks GC600 and GC767 from 2015-05-29 - 2015-06-21 in conjunction with and support of ECOGIG water column research.
