Abstract:

Underway sensor suite data collected as a part of operations conducted in conjunction with and support of ECOGIG water column research in lease blocks GC185, GB480, GC574, GC600, GC699, GC767, OC26 and MC118. Data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico by R/V Endeavor, July 22, 2016 to August 16, 2016.
