Abstract:

Two conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) casts made from the R/V Point Sur (PS17-08, cruise DOI https:\\doi.org/10.7284/909394) (2016-10-05 - 2016-10-09) in the northern Gulf of Mexico in lease block(s) GC767 and GC600, 2016-10-05 - 2016-10-09. The casts, which were acquired on 2016-10-07 and 2016-10-08, are provided in hex format. All files necessary to convert the hex format are included in the dataset.
