Oceanographic profiles from CTD casts collected during the R/V Point Sur cruise PS18-06 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2017-08-17 to 2017-09-03

This dataset contains CTD data collected during the R/V Point Sur cruise PS18-06 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2017-08-17 to 2017-09-03. The experimental site is on the continental slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico, next to the Deepwater Horizon Spill site. During the cruise, 15 CTD stations were conducted. The CTD used was a SEA-BIRD 911plus/917plus double sensors. Data from the CTD were acquired at 24 Hz. A log detailing cruise events and the sensors used is also included. Both raw and derived CTD profiles are available in ASCII and Matlab format (derived) with no low pass filter applied to preserve the high-resolution signals. 1-m bin averaged files are available in Matlab format; in this case, the odd-number column contains the downcast and the even-numbered column the upcast.
