GoMix I High Resolution Profiler 3 (HRP3) data collected aboard the R/V Point Sur cruise PS17_06 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2016-09-20 to 2016-09-26

GoMix is a three-year project with the goal of understanding the mechanisms, spatial inhomogeneity and temporal intermittency of boundary mixing along the northern deepwater Gulf. There are several platforms. This dataset concerns measurements obtained with an untethered free-fall instrument referred to as the High Resolution Profiler 3 (HRP3). The HRP3 was designed and built at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The intent is for the instrument to obtain vertical profiles of 3-d absolute velocity, CTD, and microstructure over the entire water column. The R/V Point Sur PS17-06 cruise represents the instrument's first shipboard deployments.

GoMix是一项为期三年的研究项目，旨在解析墨西哥湾北部深水海域边界混合的作用机制、空间非均质性与时间间歇性。该项目搭载多套观测平台，本数据集涉及一款名为高分辨率剖面仪3号（High Resolution Profiler 3，HRP3）的无系留自由下落式仪器的观测数据。HRP3由伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution，WHOI）设计研发。该仪器的核心目标是在全水柱范围内获取三维绝对流速、CTD（温盐深仪，Conductivity Temperature Depth）以及微结构的垂直剖面数据。科考船“尖峰号（R/V Point Sur）”PS17-06航次是该仪器首次开展船基部署作业。其余相关GoMix I数据集可通过GRIIDC唯一数据集标识符（Unique Dataset Identifiers，UDIs）获取：R5.x279.000:0001（DOI：10.7266/n7-js35-h386；对应Slocum水下滑翔机数据）、R5.x279.000:0003（DOI：10.7266/n7-8avq-ar61；对应锚系潜标数据）、R5.x279.000:0004（DOI：10.7266/n7-zkef-0305；对应CTD数据）以及R5.x279.000:0005（DOI：10.7266/n7-s349-9222；对应船载ADCP（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，声学多普勒流速剖面仪）数据）。
