CTD and water chemistry, Hercules Spill Response Cruise, Louisiana South Timbalier Block 220, 2013-07-29 - 2013-07-30

Hydrographic and water column data were collected during a cruise to the Hercules 265 site using a CTD-rosette system aboard the R/V Acadiana. We characterized the physical and chemical properties in the water column at/near the rig in the immediate aftermath of its blowout. The ship departed Cocodrie, LA, on 2013/07/27 for a day cruise, then returned to the rig on 2013/07/29 - 2013/07/30. Binned profiles and bottle files are available through this link, and raw CTD data are available on request.
