CTD and water current data collected from R/V Brooks McCall southeast of the Mississippi River Delta in Gulf of Mexico for the GISR:G02 cruise from 2012-07-27 to 2012-08-09 (NCEI Accession 0130372)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 02:37 AM | Dataset Last Updated: January 23, 2017 at 12:00 AM
A chemical tracer was released at approximately 1100m depth east of the Mississippi Canyon. Later, CTD data and water samples were collected to measure tracer concentrations to determine initial transport and dispersion of the tracer. RAFOS floats were released to track the water movement.
