Fisheries Oceanography in Coastal Alabama (FOCAL) hydrographic data from mooring from 2019-05-16 to 2019-07-01 (NCEI Accession 0244008)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 29, 2026 at 07:57 PM | Dataset Last Updated: December 10, 2021 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains hydrographic data from CTDs and thermistors on a mooring line located 25 kilometers southwest of the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama (30.0902 N 88.2116 W) collected from 2019-05-16 to 2019-07-01. Thermistors sample every minute and were located at depths: ~7.0; 9.4; 10.9; 13.1; 16.0 and 18.1m CTDs sample at 2 minutes. With the exception of a CTD replacement at 30 minutes: see 08_FOCAL_20190701_oxy_ctd_20131.cnv. CTDs were at depths: ~4.9; 19.2; and 20.1 m.
