Abstract
This dataset includes CTD and environmental data for 18 stations collected onboard R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-1304 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2012-08-14 to 2012-08-19. The dataset includes profiles/casts of temperature, salinity, conductivity, chlorophyll-a and colored dissolved organic matter fluorescence, turbidity, oxygen saturation, sound velocity, altimetry and Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR). The dataset also includes the cruise documentation for the R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-1304 led by chief scientist Dr. Steve Murawski.
Purpose
The cruise objectives were to evaluate the extent of fish disease and to characterize the distribution and fate of oiled sediment at sites on the continental shelf and slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico.
