The data were collected at ten sites during R/V Pelican cruise PE15-28, 2015-06-24 - 2015-07-01. XBT temperature profiles, collected with a Lockheed Martin Sippican MK21 with a hand-held launcher. A Sea-Bird SBE 911 CTD with processing software was used to collect temperature, salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (raw measurements), and fluorescence/chlorophyll data. Data were converted from HEX to ASCII files and averaged 24 Hz data over 1 meter intervals. All raw and converted files are included. These data were collected for calculation of the speed of sound and the evaluation of spatial/cross-platform data quality during an acoustic data survey.
