Oceanographic profiles from CTD casts and tow-yos collected from the R/V Point Sur during GoMix Cruise III (PS18_28) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2018-06-22 to 2018-06-28

This dataset contains CTD data collected from the R/V Point Sur during the June 2018 GoMix Cruise III (PS18_28). The experimental site is on the continental slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico, next to the Deepwater Horizon Spill site. During the cruise nine sections of CTD tow-yo's and three CTD casts were conducted. For each tow-yo, multiple vertical profiles were collected in the water column about 300 m above the bottom to map the water properties near the bottom. CTD casts are regular CTD stations covering the entire water column. The CTD used was a SEA-BIRD 911plus/917plus double sensor. The high-resolution data are available both in ASCII format and Matlab format. 1-m bin averaged profiles were generated separately to map the data in the depth and along-section dimensions; the data were saved as Matlab files.
