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.

This dataset contains CTD casts and expendable bathythermograph (XBT) measurements taken in the northern Gulf of Mexico as part of a larger acoustic measurement expedition. The data were collected at ten sites during R/V Pelican cruise PE15-28, 2015-06-24 - 2015-07-01. XBT temperature profiles, collected with a Lockheed Martin Sippican MK21 with a hand-held launcher. A Sea-Bird SBE 911 CTD with processing software was used to collect temperature, salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (raw measurements), and fluorescence/chlorophyll data. Data were converted from HEX to ASCII files and averaged 24 Hz data over 1 meter intervals. All raw and converted files are included.

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.

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.

R/V Pelican: PE14-20 Hydrographic (CTD) Data, Gulf of Mexico (GC600 and AT357), GC600 and AT357. Five conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) casts made from R/V Pelican in the northern Gulf of Mexico in lease blocs GC600 and AT357 in conjunction with and support of ongoing mooring and deep sea lander experiments.

This dataset contains shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiles (ADCP) data from a 75khz profiler, vertical profiles of measurements made from a CTD/Rosette system and continuous data from the Multiple Instrument Data Acquisition System (MIDAS). These ancillary data gives additional information about the physical state of the ocean during the Gulf of Mexico Integrated Spill Response Consortium (GISR) G03 cruise aboard R/V Pelican held from November 28 to December 20, 2012.

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 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 a temperature, depth, resistance, and speed of sound profile measured by bathythermograph (XBT) in the northern Gulf of Mexico as part of a larger acoustic measurement expedition. The data were collected at one site from R/V Acadiana on 2016-09-10. The profile was collected with a Lockheed Martin Sippican MK21 with a hand-held launcher. All raw and converted files are included.
