Water temperature, salinity, and other physical, chemical, and biological parameters taken by CTD and multi parameter water quality sonde on board of research vessel Pelican on the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf, Gulf of Mexico from 2015-06-23 to 2015-12-09 (NCEI Accession 0205844)

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and other physical, chemical, and biological parameters taken by CTD and water quality sonde in the Gulf of Mexico from 2015-06-23 to 2015-12-09. Two sets of CTD data were taken during the 2015 Shelf wide Hypoxia cruise off the Louisiana continental shelf. Hydrographic data were obtained with the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) SeaBird 911+ CTD system and a multi parameter water quality sonde (YSI 6820). Nutrient, pigment, suspended sediment, surface salinity, Secchi depth, Winkler results, and station information data were also acquired. Additionally, profiles were taken throughout the year at station C6C as well at several sites in August during a box coring cruise. Original data in Excel format (XLSX) were converted to ASCII (CSV) format.
