Multiple Opening Closing Net Environmental Sensing System [MOCNESS] instrument data for R/V Point Sur PS23-04 (Cruise DP08) in-situ deep seawater and associated fauna, 2022-07-27 - 2022-08-07, Gulf of Mexico

The Multiple Opening Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System[s] [MOCNESS] deployed during the DEEPEND field program collects data (e.g., pressure, temperature, conductivity, volume filtered, horizontal and vertical velocity, latitude, and longitude) from several sensors while the instrument is in use. These data help characterize the environment and assess the orientation and speed of the MOCNESS. The flow and net angle can be used to calculate the volume of water filtered for each net. The dataset includes the measured environmental data for each of nine tows during DEEPEND cruise DP08 (R/V Point Sur cruise PS23-04, cruise doi https://doi.org/10.7284/909796), collected 2022-07-27 - 2022-08-07. Also included is a summary spreadsheet, an explanation of the binning of the depth intervals for the various trawls, a copy of the ship's log book for the cruise, and a copy of the notes for each tow. The biological data, CTD, and underway data collected during this cruise are available in GRIIDC datasets NO.x959.000:0010, NO.x959.000:0008 (https://doi.org/10.7266/81EA5Q5G), and NO.x959.000:0015 (https://doi.org/10.7266/nysgy6h4), respectively. This dataset is a result of research funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's RESTORE Science Program (ROR - https://ror.org/0042xzm63) under award #NA19NOS4510193 to Nova Southeastern University.
