Water isotope data collected aboard the R/V LeMoyne for monitoring and assessment of coastal and marine ecosystems in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2011-06-22 to 2011-11-21

This dataset is part of the historical database of water isotopes (δ18O and δD) in surface and bottom waters at eight fixed stations within the Mississippi Sound and Bight. Samples were collected as part of the University of Southern Mississippi project Monitoring and Assessment of Coastal and Marine Ecosystems in the Northern Gulf, which was funded by NOAA through the Northern Gulf Institute. These water isotope data were only collected for the last six months of the project from 2011-06-22 to 2011-11-21 aboard the R/V LeMoyne cruise led by Dr. Kjell Gunderson, Dr. Stephan Howden, and Dr.Kevin Martin. The dataset includes water isotopes (δ18O and δD), salinity, depth, date and location (longitude and latitude) of the sampling collection site. The complete project dataset can be found under GRIIDC Unique Dataset Identifier (UDI) R4.x260.000:0082 (DOI: 10.7266/N77M06C6).
