Sampling of in situ seawater, macroalgae, macrocrustaceans and associated fauna (cruise GoMRI-II, November 15-17 2012, stns 1-18, data available for all) aboard the R/V Pelican cruise id PE13-14 was targeted to repeat sampling of previously studied hard banks and adjacent deep waters west of the mouth of the Mississippi River and extending east to offshore Alabama, an area encompassing roughly 27°58'N to 29°26'N and 87°34'W to 91°01'W. Submitted metadata are ADCP, CTD, Marks and Cruise Track Data.

Sampling of in situ seawater, macroalgae, macrocrustaceans and associated fauna (cruise GoMRI-II, October 17-20 2013, stns 1-18, data available for all) aboard the R/V Pelican cruise id PE14-10b was targeted to repeat sampling of previously studied hard banks and adjacent deep waters west of the mouth of the Mississippi River and extending east to offshore Alabama, an area encompassing roughly 27°58'N to 29°26'N and 87°34'W to 91°01'W. Submitted metadata are ADCP, CTD, Marks and Cruise Track Data.

Chemical, physical and profile oceanographic data were collected aboard the PELICAN in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-05-10 to 2010-07-21 in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event on April 20, 2010, by the Subsurface Monitoring Unit (SMU), which consisted of multiple government and corporate agencies. These data include CDOM fluorescence, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, hydrostatic pressure, salinity, sound velocity, temperature and water density. The instruments used to collect these data included CTD, fluorometer and oxygen meter along with other physical sampling devices. More specific information about each dataset is located in their individual metadata records. The CTD data underwent preliminary quality assurance and control procedures at the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC). Cruise level information consisting of data management documents, cruise reports and plans, videos and pictures, and other miscellaneous documentation were gathered by the data managers.

This dataset contains CTD profiles and temperature profiles collected by expendable bathythermograph (XBT) collected from the R/V Pelican during cruise PE16-10 between 2015-10-27 and 2015-10-28. Measurements are reported from three stations and include temperature, fluorescence, oxygen, conductivity, salinity, and sound velocity profiles.

Current meter moorings with internally-recording instruments were deployed on this cruise (G01) in July 2012. (The moorings were recovered and redeployed in July 2013). During this cruise a CTD/Rosette samplers, two shipboard acoustic Doppler currents profilers (75Khz and 300Khz), and an underway continuous sampling system were operated. This data set includes CTD data, NISKIN bottle samples (salinity, dissolved oxygen, DOC, and estimated oil equivalents) and documentation. Nutrients and DIC were collected but not analyzed at the time of this submission.

This dataset combines CTD and ADCP data submitted in a number of packages. Data were collected from the R/V Pelican during the cruise PE23_12_Pallas_Sanz in the central Gulf of Mexico. Data are in CNV, TXT, and NetCDF formats. This cruise is U.S. State Department MSR U2022-046 as part of the World Data Service for Oceanography.

This dataset reports presence or absence data and other environmental cruise data collected in the Gulf of Mexico during R/V Pelican cruise PE18-01 (LF2017A) from 2017-07-01 to 2017-07-04. Larvae were collected with paired 61-cm bongo nets with 333 and 500-micron mesh. General Oceanics Flowmeters (Model 2030R, Miami, FL), were placed within net frames to determine the surface area sampled by each net. Fish larvae and early juveniles collected with net gear were preserved onboard in 95% ethanol. The dataset includes sampling and identification of larval fishes from epipelagic tows and environmental data (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen) from 47 stations. Sea surface temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were measured at the surface of each station using a Sonde 6920 Environmental Monitoring System (YSI Inc., Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States).

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, oxygen, and other parameters collected by CTD from research vessel Pelican in the Gulf of Mexico from 2020-09-25 to 2020-10-04. Hydrographic data were collected on a mid-experiment telemetry cruise from an array of moored instrumentation. These data were collected to calibrate the travel time measurements of the moored current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders. The data are in NetCDF format.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, oxygen, and other parameters collected by CTD from research vessel Pelican in Gulf of Mexico from 2019-06-14 to 2019-10-03. Hydrographic data were collected on the deployment cruise of an array of moored instrumentation and on a mid-experiment telemetry cruise. These data were collected to calibrate the travel time measurements of the moored current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders. Some instrument sites were visited more than once on each cruise. The data are in NetCDF format.
