The objective was to explore various regions to search for new habitats, species and communities of organisms, search for bioluminescence on the deep seafloor, explore the relationship between vision and bioluminescence in benthic animals, and explore for further examples of unusual benthic/pelagic coupling involving bioluminescence. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0225519 Preview graphic PNG 0225519 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2021-02-16 publication AIR TEMPERATURE ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BENTHIC SPECIES CORAL DEPTH - SENSOR FLUORESCENCE images LATITUDE LONGITUDE POSITION - GEOGRAPHIC RELATIVE HUMIDITY speed over ground TRANSMISSIVITY WIND DIRECTION WIND SPEED theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS acoustic sensor barometric pressure sensor camera echo sounder Flow-through pump fluorometer GPS gyrocompass humidity sensor temperature sensor thermosalinograph transmissometer video camera instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS benthic biological current measurements imagery navigational physical theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS R/V Pelican platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS NOAA Ocean Exploration dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA Ocean Exploration dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Office of Ocean Exploration and Research's Integrated Product Team (OER IPT) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Gulf of Mexico place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/OOE > Office of Ocean Exploration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian acoustic sensor acoustic sensor generic instrument type for sensing sound in the water column Use acoustic sensor for a variety of types of observations, including acoustic tomography, whale and other marine mammal sound detection, etc. Do not use acoustic sensor for instrument type when the thing being measured is distance to seafloor: use echo sounder or sidescan sonar as appropriate. barometric pressure sensor barometric pressure sensor instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure. camera camera An instrument for recording images. echo sounder echo sounder instrument used to determine water depth or bathymetry also known as an echosounder Flow-through pump Flow-through pump Flow-through pump refers to a pump system, often found onboard a research vessel. Such pump can feed seawater continuously into instrument that record certain properties of the seawater continuously. fluorometer fluorometer fluorometer GPS GPS Global Positioning System receiver satellite-based instrument used for geo-location, positioning and navigation gyrocompass gyrocompass gyrocompass humidity sensor humidity sensor HUMIDITY SENSORS are devices that receive a signal or stimulus (as heat or pressure or light or motion etc.) and responds to it, in this case humidity or some measure of the water vapor content of air. temperature sensor temperature sensor A sensor used to measure temperature. thermosalinograph thermosalinograph automated sea surface temperature and salinity instrument, usually attached to the hull of a ship Thermosalinograph is an automated Sea Surface Temperature and Salinity measurement system making measurement on board a ship using a water intake.
