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.

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.

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 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).

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.

Twenty-six conductivity, temperature and depth profiles from GISR (Gulf Integrated Spill Research Consortium) Mooring Recovery Cruise G04.

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.

This dataset contains profile discrete measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH on total scale, water temperature, salinity and other parameters collected from profile discrete observations using CTD, Niskin Bottles and other instruments during the R/V Pelican cruise RAPID 3 (EXPOCODE 32PE20180319), in the Gulf of Mexico from 2018-03-19 to 2018-03-23. Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide from human industrial activities are causing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry. Through the SOOP program we measure air and ocean surface pCO2 and take discrete samples of other carbon parameters. This effort is in support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) and the Climate Program Office.
