Abstract:

This dataset reports underway ADCP raw data collected aboard the R/V Point Sur cruise PS18-25 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2018-05-17 to 2018-05-23. The purpose of this cruise was to collect undisturbed sediment cores from areas to the south and southeast of the Deepwater Horizon spill site. Data acquired by the R/V Point Sur ADCP systems.
