The data were collected at one site from R/V Acadiana on 2016-09-10. The profile was collected with a Lockheed Martin Sippican MK21 with a hand-held launcher. All raw and converted files are included. These data were collected for calculation of the speed of sound during deployment of passive acoustic buoys.
