Chemical, current meter, and other data from current meter, bottle, XBT, and CTD casts in the Gulf of Mexico as part of the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico Physical Oceanographic Program: Chemical Oceanography and Hydrography Study (NEGOM) project, 1997-11-16 to 2000-08-08 (NCEI Accession 0000703)

Chemical, current meter, and other data were collected using current meter, bottle, XBT, and CTD casts in the Gulf of Mexico from November 16, 1997 to August 8, 2000. Data were submitted by Texas A&M University as part of the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico Physical Oceanographic Program: Chemical Oceanography and Hydrography Study (NEGOM) project. There were nine cruises, all aboard R/V Gyre. The same 11 cross-shelf lines were occupied during each cruise. On each cruise, profiles of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, backscatterance, PAR, and percent transmission were made with a Seabird CTD. Water samples were taken and analyzed for salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, pigments, particulate material, particulate organic carbon and particulate organic nitrogen. Many XBT probes were released. An underway flow-through system measured near-surface temperature, salinity, and fluorescence. Acoustic Doppler current profilers measured vertical profiles of currents while underway.
