GoMix II High Resolution Profiler 3 (HRP3) data collected aboard the R/V Point Sur cruise PS18_06 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2017-08-17 to 2017-09-04

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 measurement 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 PS18_06 cruise represents the instrument's second shipboard use.
