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 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.

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 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.

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 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.
